School Spirits Renewed for Season 4 at Paramount+

Paramount+ has officially renewed its supernatural drama, School Spirits, for a fourth season, ensuring fans will return to Split River High. The renewal comes after the conclusion of Season 3, which left viewers on a cliffhanger as the barrier keeping the ghosts confined to the school was destroyed, and Dr. Hunter-Price was possessed by an evil spirit.

What We Know About Season 4

The series, starring Peyton List as Maddie Nears, follows a group of students and a teacher who died on school grounds and are unable to move on due to unfinished business. Maddie, along with Simon Elroy (Kristian Ventura) and Spencer Baxter (Spencer MacPherson), can communicate with the ghosts. Season 3 featured performances from Jennifer Tilly, Kiara Pichardo, Sarah Yarkin, Nick Pugliese, Rainbow Wedell, Josh Zuckerman, Maria Dizzia, Ci Hang Ma, Miles Elliot, and Milo Manheim.

While Paramount+ has confirmed a fourth season, the streaming service has not yet announced which cast members will return. Nate Trinrud and Megan Trinrud will continue as co-showrunners and executive producers. Oliver Goldstick, who previously served as showrunner, will return as a consultant for Season 4.

Milo Manheim’s Dual Projects

The renewal arrives as Milo Manheim prepares for a significant role in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Tangled, where he will portray Flynn Rider. Manheim has been actively preparing for the role, practicing skills like horseback riding and rock climbing.

The timing of Manheim’s commitments to both School Spirits and Tangled has sparked questions about his involvement in Season 4. Co-creator Nate Trinrud acknowledged the logistical challenges, stating, “I think agents are starting to figure out what’s happening. We found out literally like a day ago. So, very exciting stuff. Lots to figure out.”

What’s Next for Split River High?

Season 3 ended with several unresolved storylines, including Wally, Dawn, Janet, and Maddie’s dad being trapped in the “ley lines,” the destruction of the ghost boundary, and Maddie’s mother being possessed by Van Heidt. These plot threads suggest a complex and engaging Season 4 is on the horizon.

School Spirits is available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.
