When SkyMed, a medical procedural about an air ambulance company in a remote part of Northern Canada, ended its third season, several cast members exited. So I wondered how the series would go on with almost half of the leads moving on.
Today, we found out when Paramount+ released a trailer for the upcoming season. They will be adding several new faces to the show. However, those rookies will not make things easy on the OGs, and that is going to lead to mistakes being made, which could lead to people dying.
The new additions are: Lauren Lee Smith joins in a recurring role as Captain Riley – a globe-trotting pilot with a past connection to Wheezer (Aaron Ashmore). Additional newcomers include Shawn Ahmed as cocky Flight Nurse Zay Patel, Leishe Meyboom as spirited rookie Flight Nurse Piper Adler, Alexander Eling as charming First Officer Wyatt Ellis, and Cecilia Lee as ambitious Pilot Maya Chang.
When School Spirits ended its season, it felt like it could be a series finale if need be, even though there was an interesting cliffhanger.
So, I wanted more, but I was not sure if I was going to get more. Today, Paramount+ announced that it will be back for more. And for now, that is all we know.
We waited forever between the first two seasons of School Spirits, but we are not going to have to wait as long for season 3. Today, Paramount+ announced that the show, which found new life on Netflix, is returning to the streamer next month.
Season three of School Spirits plunges Maddie Nears and her friends into a deeper, darker mystery as the veil between worlds grows dangerously thin, delivering twists that challenge everything they thought they knew. After clawing her way back to life, Maddie struggles with terrifying visions and the weight of protecting both the living and the dead while Simon – trapped in the afterlife – becomes obsessed with the secrets buried in Split River High’s scars. Why have so many people died at Split River High? What was Mr. Martin warning them about? As they search for answers, new dangers and dark secrets begin to surface.
The show where the dead students never graduate returns with three episodes on January 28th.
SkyMed is about an air medical team that rescues people in Northern Canada. Thankfully, the series does need to be rescued because Paramount+ picked it up for a fourth season today.
During the season 3 finale, several cast members departed the show. Now we know who will be flying into season 4. They are Natasha Calis as Hayley, Morgan Holmstrom as Crystal, Mercedes Morris as Lexi, Sydney Kuhne as Stef, and Aaron Ashmore as Wheezer, whose vision was restored in the final scenes.
More casting announcements will be announced at a later date. I am pretty sure they will be adding at least one more man because, as of now, there is only one male series regular.
Production will begin later this summer, and I am assuming it will debut next year.
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.
