School Spirits Adds Jennifer Tilly and More to Season 3 Cast — Here's Everything We Know So Far
Class is finally back in session — or at least back in production — at Split River High, with cameras officially rolling on Season 3 of Paramount+'s School Spirits. More from TVLine Happy Face Cancelled at Paramount+ RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Finale: Did the Right Queen Win Season 10? Star Trek: Strange New Worlds EPs Tease Spock and Chapel's Future - Does He Have a New Love Interest? The highly anticipated announcement was made on Monday, July 21, along with some early Season 3 intel, several juicy casting details, and even a first look at the cast back on set. For starters, the season's official logline tells us that Maddie 'must face the dangerous mystery behind Split River High School in order to save her best friend who might be lost forever.' That best friend, of course, is Maddie's BFF Simon, who found himself in spiritual limbo at the end of Season 2. 'Simon has had access to a world that other people have not,' executive producer Oliver Goldstick told TVLine after the finale. 'He's aware of another reality besides the one we all see on a daily basis. So we felt like, if you spent this much time trying to save somebody else and you had immersed yourself so deeply into that world, could you be sucked into the vortex of that until you were trapped as well?' Read on for a complete breakdown of everything we know about School Spirits Season 3 so far, then drop a comment with your own hopes for the show's return below. When Does School Spirits Season 3 Premiere? Though an exact premiere date has yet to be announced, we do know that School Spirits will return to Paramount+ for Season 3 sometime in 2026. Who's Returning for Season 3? As you can see in this photo — and the photos in the photo — all of the show's previous series regulars are returning for Season 3: Peyton List as Maddie, Kristian Ventura as Simon, Spencer MacPherson as Xavier, Kiara Pichardo as Nicole, Sarah Yarkin as Rhonda, Nick Pugliese as Charley, Rainbow Wedell as Claire, Josh Zuckerman as Mr. Martin and Milo Manheim as Wally. Additionally, Ci Hang Ma (Quinn) and Miles Elliot (Yuri) have been promoted to series regulars. Who's Joining the Cast in Season 3? School Spirits is adding an enticing trio of recurring characters to the mix in Season 3: Jennifer Tilly (Chucky) as school superintendent Dr. Deborah Hunter-Price, Ari Dalbert (Inhumans) as Kyle and Erika Swayze (Accused) as Livia. Specific details about their characters are being kept under wraps… for now.

School Spirits Season 3: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 18, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 18, 2025, 12:04 IST Okay, School Spirits fans, let's talk about that Season 2 finale—my jaw is still on the floor! The supernatural teen drama on Paramount+ has us all obsessed with its mix of ghostly mysteries, heartfelt friendships, and those 'what just happened?!' cliffhangers. With Season 3 officially greenlit, we've rounded up the latest scoop on when it might drop, who's coming back, and what we can expect from Maddie Nears and the gang at Split River High. Let's dive in! Release Date Rumors: When Can We Expect Season 3? Paramount+ gave us the good news in March 2025: School Spirits is coming back for a third season! While they haven't pinned down an exact premiere date, they're aiming for 2026. Looking at the show's history, Season 1 hit screens in March 2023, and Season 2 landed in January 2025. So, I'm guessing we could see Season 3 sometime between March and June 2026, depending on how filming goes. Word on the street (or rather, posts on X) suggests production might kick off in September 2025. That gives them plenty of time to work their magic with those spooky special effects. Cast Updates: Who's Returning and Any New Faces? The core cast of School Spirits is expected to return, bringing back the characters we've grown to love (or love to question). Here's who's likely to reprise their roles: Peyton List as Maddie Nears, the teen navigating the afterlife while unraveling the mystery of her 'death.' Kristian Ventura as Simon Elroy, Maddie's best friend, whose shocking Season 2 finale twist has fans buzzing. Spencer MacPherson as Xavier Baxter, Maddie's ex-boyfriend, who now has the ability to see ghosts. Kiara Pichardo as Nicole Herrera, one of Maddie's loyal friends in the living world. Sarah Yarkin as Rhonda Rosen, the cynical ghost with a sharp wit. Nick Pugliese as Charley, Maddie's ghostly confidant. Rainbow Wedell as Claire Zomer, part of Maddie's living friend group. Josh Zuckerman as Mr. Martin, the mysterious teacher-spirit with secrets of his own. The fate of Milo Manheim as Wally Clark, the lovable football-playing ghost, is uncertain after Season 2's cliffhanger hinted at him possibly crossing over. However, the show's creators have teased that 'anything could happen,' so we're hopeful Wally's story isn't over yet. Jess Gabor as Janet Hamilton, the spirit who hijacked Maddie's body, is also likely to return, especially since she chose to stay in the afterlife to help the other ghosts. As for new faces, no official casting announcements have been made, but Season 2 introduced characters like Quinn (Ci Hang Ma), and the trend of adding fresh spirits or living characters could continue. With Split River High's supernatural lore expanding, expect some exciting additions to shake things up. What to Expect in Season 3 Heads-up: Season 2 spoilers ahead! If you're not caught up, go binge on Paramount+ first! Season 2 left us with so many questions, and we are dying to see how they wrap things up. Here's what we think we're in for, based on the finale and some teases from the creators: Simon's Wild Cliffhanger: Okay, Simon ending up in Mr. Martin's scar? Mind. Blown. How does a living person get stuck in a ghost's trauma space? Is he dead? Trapped? Something else entirely? The showrunners said they want to explore what it means to 'lose someone,' which makes me think Simon's story is about to get super emotional. Wally's Big Moment: That light in Wally's scar had me holding my breath. It looked like he was about to cross over, but maybe he'll pull a Janet and choose to stay. His connection with Maddie is too sweet to end now, right? We are hoping we get more of their slow-burn romance, even if it's complicated by her being back in her body. Maddie's New Normal: Maddie finally got her body back, but now she can't see the high school ghosts—only her dad's spirit at the hospital. What's up with that? Will she find a way to reconnect with Rhonda, Charley, and the others? Xavier might be the key since he can see ghosts now, but we are curious how that'll change their dynamic. Xavier's Ghost Vision: Speaking of Xavier, his new ability to see spirits is a game-changer. Will he team up with Maddie to solve the school's mysteries, or will this cause drama? We are betting on both. The School's Secrets: Season 2 hinted that Split River High is hiding some seriously dark history. That red glow over the school, Mr. Martin's weird experiments, and the whole 'scar' concept? There's a bigger mystery here, and we think Season 3 will dig into why these spirits are trapped.

5 teen thriller shows like 'We Were Liars' to stream right now
Based on a 2014 novel by E. Lockhart, "We Were Liars" is the latest teen drama to hit Prime Video. It stars Emily Alyn Lind as Cadence, a girl from a wealthy family who is struggling to recover her memory after an accident she experiences during the show's first episode. Surrounded by her three closest friends — the group dubs themselves 'The Liars,' hence the title — Cadence desperately tries to figure out what happened to her, since she has no memory of the event itself. But the deeper she digs, the more it becomes clear to her that the truth is being hidden by those closest to her. A perfect summer watch, "We Were Liars" keeps you captivated through all its twists and turns. After you finish bingeing it, here are a few other teen thriller shows like "We Were Liars" that will fill a similar niche. The main difference between "We Were Liars" and "One Of Us Is Lying" appears to be exactly how many of the characters are being dishonest. OK, so that's not quite true, but lies and secrets are still a huge part of the game. Like "We Were Liars," "One Of Us is Lying" is also based on a YA mystery novel adapted for the small screen, revolving around four teenagers who have been implicated in the death of their classmate. The plot thickens when we learn that the deceased left behind a poem containing potentially life-altering secrets about each of the four students who are now being considered as suspects in his death. Did one of them do it? Did all of them do it? Well, you have to watch to find out. Watch on Peacock Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Like Cadence in "We Were Liars," Maddie (Peyton List) in "School Spirits" is suffering from a bout of amnesia. She spends the better part of the first season attempting to unravel what led to her own disappearance and — without spoiling anything _ things don't exactly get easier to explain once she understands what's going on. And just like "We Were Liars," there are some supernatural elements at play that defy the expectations of a typical teen drama. "School Spirits" ran for two seasons on Freeform, the second of which wrapped up in March 2025. It may not have had a chance to reach its full potential, but it's still an underrated and criminally underseen show. Watch on Paramount Plus "We Were Liars" revolves around one central mystery; "Riverdale" thinks that having one mystery is for babies and instead features about 10 different convoluted plotlines going on at any given time, each popping up like a demented game of whack-a-mole (we mean this as a compliment.) Nominally based on the Archie comics that began in the late 1940s, "Riverdale" takes the kernel of those origins and turns them into a teen drama on steroids. With Archie (KJ Apa), Betty (Lili Reinhart), Veronica (Camila Mendes), and Jughead (Cole Sprouse) getting up to increasingly outlandish antics, you never know what's going to happen next in their not-so-sleepy town. Watch on Netflix Secrets are basically part and parcel on "Pretty Little Liars." A safe assumption to make is that no one on the show is telling the truth at any given time, which is how "We Were Liars" often feels. The immensely popular teen drama ran on Freeform for seven seasons, putting its central cast through the ringer the entire time. After the queen bee of their high school clique suddenly disappears, the mysterious figure known only as A begins to target the group of friends, threatening to reveal all of their secrets. As the story unfolds, it seems like new mysteries and twists emerge at every turn, ensuring that "Pretty Little Liars" held the interest of audiences over the course of several years, never giving them — or the characters they became fascinated by — a moment's rest. Watch on Hulu or Max At the very beginning of "Cruel Summer," Jeanette (Chiara Aurelia) appears to be a perfectly sweet, if somewhat awkward, girl who experiences a glow-up over the summer, as many teenagers do. But when she's essentially able to step into the shoes of her missing classmate Kate (Olivia Holt), a popular girl at school, you kind of start to wonder if Kate got Single White Femaled. Especially when Kate turns up after a year of having been gone and accuses Jeanette of knowing about her abduction and purposefully keeping silent about it to preserve her new social standing. A frothy teen soap, "Cruel Summer" was at its peak during its explosive first season, but its second — which features an entirely new cast of characters — is worth a watch as well. Watch on Hulu

School Spirits Season 3: Everything we know so far

The Paramount+ supernatural teen drama, led by the phenomenal Peyton List as Maddie Nears, has fans clamoring for more after its jaw-dropping finale. With Season 3 officially greenlit, the buzz is real! From potential plot to cast members, here's the full scoop on School Spirits Season 3—everything we know so far. What's Next for Maddie? Season 3 Potential Plot The Season 2 finale of School Spirits left us with more questions than answers, and Season 3 is poised to dive into some seriously spooky territory.

Will the 'energy fence' keeping ghosts trapped lift, letting them roam free or revealing a bigger mystery in town? Wally's Big Choice: Did Wally cross over for good, or is he sticking around? His heartwarming arc and chemistry with Maddie make his potential exit a tearjerker, but we're crossing our fingers for Milo Manheim's return. With showrunners Nate and Megan Trinrud promising more twists, expect Season 3 to blend emotional stakes with mind-bending supernatural lore. Who's Back? School Spirits Season 3 Expected Cast No official cast list for Season 3 yet, but the core crew is almost certain to return, given their roles in the unfolding drama.
