The 'School Spirits' Trailer Imagines What It Would Be Like To Be Trapped In High School Forever

Paramount Plus adds another supernatural teen thriller notch to its belt with a new, original series (that is not a Taylor Sheridan show) School Spirits.

When high-schooler Maddie (Peyton List) finds herself a ghost trapped in afterlife limbo at her high school, she investigates her mysterious disappearance alongside a group of other ghost students. She soon learns that the closer they get to discovering the truth, the more secrets and lies they uncover.

The trailer makes it seem like this series is going to have a real Dead Like Me meets The Lovely Bones vibe, which might work well. I’m enjoying Paramount’s original series Wolf Pack, and not just because of SMG. OK, mostly because of SMG, but it is fun! I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt with this one.

School Spirits stars relative newcomers Peyton List (whom your kids will recognize from Bunk’d), Kristian Flores, Milo Manheim, Spencer MacPherson, Kiara Pichardo (The Society), Sarah Yarkin (2022’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Nick Pugliese, and Rainbow Wedell.

Paramount Plus will premiere three episodes of School Spirits on March 9th. After that, new episodes will be available to stream on Thursdays.
