‘School Spirits’ Season 2 Finale Promises a Wild Twist, Cast Says
The team behind ‘School Spirits’ is gearing up for something big. With season 2 now streaming on Paramount+, the cast has been dropping hints that the finale will leave us stunned. This supernatural teen drama, which first grabbed attention in 2023, follows Maddie Nears, played by Peyton List, as she navigates the afterlife at Split River High School. After a jaw-dropping reveal in season 1, where we learned Maddie wasn’t dead but possessed by a ghost named Janet, the stakes are higher than ever.
Peyton List leads a talented lineup that includes Milo Manheim as Wally Clark, Kristian Ventura as Simon Elroy, and Spencer MacPherson as Xavier Baxter. The show, created by Megan and Nate Trinrud, blends high school drama with ghostly mysteries. Season 2 kicked off on January 30, 2025, and has kept us hooked with Maddie’s fight to reclaim her body. The cast promises the ending will top everything we’ve seen so far.
Kristian Ventura, who plays Maddie’s loyal friend Simon, let slip that guessing the finale is like winning the lottery—nearly impossible. He teased that we should brace for the worst, then expect something even darker. Kiara Pichardo, who brings Nicole Herrera to life, backed him up, saying she doubts anyone will predict it. These cryptic warnings have us wondering what’s in store for the Split River crew.
The first season ended with a bombshell—Maddie’s body was hijacked by Janet, portrayed by Jess Gabor, leaving her spirit trapped. Season 2 has dug deeper into Janet’s past and her ties to Mr. Martin, the ghostly teacher played by Josh Zuckerman. We’ve watched Maddie team up with her ghost pals—Wally, Charley (Nick Pugliese), and Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin)—while Simon rallies the living friends to uncover the town’s secrets. The cast’s excitement suggests the finale will flip the script in a big way.
Spencer MacPherson hinted at ‘massive revelations’ that will drop our jaws. He’s not wrong—season 2 already threw us a curveball when Xavier briefly saw ghosts after a near-death moment.
‘School Spirits’ has always mixed teen angst with supernatural twists, drawing from classics like ‘The Breakfast Club.’ The creators have a knack for keeping us emotionally invested, and the finale seems set to deliver on that promise.
With season 3 already greenlit for 2026, the story’s far from over. Whatever happens in this finale, it’s clear the Split River mystery is about to get bigger. If the cast’s reactions are anything to go by, we’re in for a shocking ride that’ll keep us talking until Maddie and her crew return.
