School Spirits is the little show that could. The first season streamed its first season on Paramount+, and it did OK. It got a second season.
Then, Netflix picked it up, and it found a whole new audience.
So, when the second season started streaming, it did 94% better than its freshman year.
Therefore, it makes sense that the streamer renewed it for a third season less than two weeks after its shocking second season finale, which left us wanting more.
“We are so thrilled to bring SCHOOL SPIRITS back to our devoted audiences for another season of masterful storytelling brought to life by Peyton List and the incredible cast,” said Shauna Phelan, Head of Live Action Scripted Series and Film for Awesomeness and Nickelodeon. “Co-showrunners Oliver Goldstick, Nate Trinrud and Megan Trinrud have an exceptional ability to capture the complexity and nuance of the teen experience, while also keeping audiences on their toes with the unexpected mystery, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the students of Split River High next season.”
And I can’t wait to see who is alive, who is dead, and who is whose body.
I just wish we didn’t have to wait until 2026 for new episodes.
It has been almost two years since School Spirits’ shocking season finale streamed on Paramount+. So, I have been wondering when we are finally going to get the second season to find out what happens next. Today, the streamer announced that it will be back with three episodes on January 30th.
The premiere episode, Whatever Happened to Maddie Nears?, follows Maddie Nears (Peyton List) as she works to bring a doubting Simon (Kristian Ventura), her only connection to the living world, back on board to help her track down and collect her missing body.
Throughout the season, Maddie Nears is still stuck in the afterlife with the knowledge of what happened to her, and must unite her friends in the spectral and living worlds in order to reclaim her stolen life.
So, for those of you who discovered the Sci-Fi mystery high school drama on Netflix, it is time to subscribe to Paramount+ to watch season 2! Because who knows when those eight episodes will come to that other streaming service?
Law & Order is going into its fourth season this Fall, and today, they lost their fourth original cast member from the revival.
Anthony Anderson only appeared in the first season. But then, the third season saw three departures. Jeffrey Donovan parted ways just before filming started this season, and Sam Waterson said goodbye after over 400 episodes.
And today, Camryn Manheim announced that the season finale will be her final episode.
“I had the most incredible experience being a part of the Law & Order Universe, and more importantly the Wolfpack. I’m so thankful for the three wonderful seasons that I spent with this wildly talented cast of merry pranksters. Mehcad Brooks, Reid Scott, Connie Shi, Anthony Anderson, Jeffrey Donovan, Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, Tony Goldwyn and Sam Waterston. Not to mention the stellar guest stars that came in and out of the studio doors.
“I loved showing up for work each and every day, loved keeping the boys in line at Precinct 27 and most importantly, loved spending time with the most hard working, professional and kindhearted crew. They are truly New York’s finest.
“Something wonderful awaits me around the corner, and I can’t wait to see what it is. Until then… Go Knicks!”
Hugh Dancy and Odelya Halevi are the only revival OG cast members left.
In the first Zombies movie, we got to know Milo Manheim and Kylee Russell as Zombies. During the follow-up on Disney, we got to meet Werewolf Chandler Kinney. Finally, in the third film, Meg Donnelly discovered she is an alien.
Later this year on Disney+, we will find out what the Zombies franchise has planned for Swayam Bhatia, Julian Lerner, Malachi Barton, and Mekonnen Knife.
Before that happens, we get to see what they all look like when they look like us. And not when they look like they are supernatural.
Disney has a habit of doing three and done. However, ZOMBIES broke that curse. Because today, Disney announced that we are getting a fourth film with Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly reprising their roles as Zombie Zed and Alien Allison.
The franchise’s fourth installment follows Zed and Addison as they embark on a road trip the summer after their first year of college. As adventures unfold, they unexpectedly discover the warring worlds of Sunnyside and Shadyside and come into contact with two new groups of monsters.
What monsters will they meet this time? We know it won’t be Zombies, Werewolves, or Aliens because they already tackled that in the first three films, which you should watch on Disney+.
Along with the sequel, ZOMBIES: The Re-Animated Series will debut on Disney Channel and Disney+ this summer. Disney+ released shorts of the series last year.
