The spirits aren’t resting anytime soon. School Spirits has officially been renewed for Season 3 on Paramount+, and the supernatural teen drama is bringing even more queer chaos, new mysteries, and—yes—Jennifer Tilly.

Production is already underway in Vancouver, and the latest cast updates promise fresh faces and elevated drama. Ci Hang Ma (Quinn) and Miles Elliot (Yuri), who recurred in Season 2, have been promoted to series regulars. Meanwhile, genre legend Jennifer Tilly (Chucky) joins the cast as Dr. Deborah Hunter-Price, alongside Ari Dalbert (Friendship) as Kyle and Erika Swayze (Davey & Jonesie’s Locker) as Livia in recurring roles.

What to Expect in Season 3

Following that wild Season 2 finale, Season 3 picks up with Maddie Nears (Peyton List) facing her biggest challenge yet. To save a friend who may be lost forever, she’ll have to confront the chilling mystery still haunting Split River High—and possibly break every rule of the afterlife in the process.

Why Queer Audiences Can’t Get Enough

It’s not just the ghost drama that keeps us watching—it’s the heart. Season 2 dialed up the representation with queer characters like Charley and Emilio, whose storylines resonated deeply with fans. “I had someone come up to me at the gym and say it reminded them of their own high school experience,” Pugliese previously told Gayety. Plus there’s new gay romances brewing, and we’re obsessed.

So grab your Ouija board, light a candle, and get ready to return to Split River. School Spirits Season 3 is coming—and it’s bringing new life to the afterlife.
