When will School Spirits Season 2 premiere?
In June 2023, the series was renewed for a second season, as per Deadline. School Spirits Season 2 announcement wasn’t a great surprise since the show immediately rose to the top of Paramount Plus’ most popular original series to date.
The renewal was announced in June 2023. But the series has been in limbo for a while thanks to the dual strike which put almost everything on halt for around six months.
In an exclusive interview with The Direct’s Russ Milheim, School Spirits star Kristian Ventura, who plays Simon, revealed when the team is planning to start filming for the second season. He stated that the production team is “looking at a summer start date” for the new episodes:
You know, everyone’s operating on their own schedules… They are writing the series. My best prediction is we’re all going to be in Vancouver in the summer. And it’s going to take a couple months for the writers to get back into the room and hash out the second season. I think we’re looking at a summer start date.
Season 1 took three months to film, spanning from August 2022 to November 2022, and was subsequently released five months later in March 2023. Following the same timeline, if the filming for School Spirits were to commence in June and conclude in Fall 2024, we can expect the second season to premiere in early 2025.

What will School Spirits Season 2 be about?
Well, whether Maddie will be able to free her body from Janet’s paranormal control is the key mystery of season 2. The two battle back and forth between two different planes of existence will probably make up the majority of the plot. Season 1’s main focus on Maddie’s crime-fighting in the afterlife will be drastically altered by this.
But in light of the new turn, the show looks to be taking, it now feels quite low-stakes. The second season of School Spirits might include additional background information on Janet’s past events that led her to take Maddie’s name and body.
However, this is just a hunch. The only way to know what season 2 will provide us is to get the official details. So stay tuned.
