The first season of Paramount+’s School Spirits ended with Maddie finally uncovering the secret to her death…and it turns out she’s not really dead after all. Janet, a ghost, took over Maddie’s body so she’s stuck in the afterlife, hanging out with others who’ve died at the high school. The official trailer for season two shows Maddie’s friends, both the living and dead, teaming up to figure out how to get Maddie’s body back.
Season two will premiere on January 30, 2025 with the release of the first three episodes. New episodes stream on Thursdays.

Kristian Ventura stars as Simon Elroy, Spencer MacPherson is Xavier Baxter, Kiara Pichardo is Nicole Herrera, Sarah Yarkin is Rhonda, and Nick Pugliese stars as Charley. Rainbow Wedell plays Claire Zomer, Josh Zuckerman is Mr. Martin, and Milo Manheim is Wally Clark.

“Picking up from the shocking season one finale, the premiere episode ‘Whatever Happened to Maddie Nears?’ follows Maddie Nears (List) as she works to bring a doubting Simon (Ventura), her only connection to the living world, back on board to help her track down and collect her missing body,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “Throughout the season, Maddie Nears is still stuck in the afterlife with the knowledge of what happened to her, and must unite her friends in the spectral and living worlds in order to reclaim her stolen life.”
