‘School Spirits’ (2023)

I’m so excited for the return of ‘School Spirits’ on January 28, 2026! The show picks up right where we left off, following a teen who’s stuck as a ghost at her high school. She’s working with other spirits to figure out what happened to her – basically, to solve her own disappearance and death. It’s a really cool mix of a teen drama and a classic murder mystery. The new episodes are promising to reveal even more about the school itself and how the spirit world works, which I can’t wait to see!
