Funny enough, she has zero recollection of how she actually died, unlike all the other students at Split River High School who have passed on. Taking matters into her own hands, Maddie begins investigating her mysterious death with the help of some fellow ghosts \u2014 and a handful of friends that haven&#8217;t kicked the bucket yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Developed by Megan Trinrud and Nate Trinrud, &#8220;Spirits&#8221; premiered on Paramount+ on March 9, 2023, and was renewed for a second season that hit the platform on January 30, 2025. A third series is set to premiere on January 28, 2026. Additional cast members include Kristian Ventura, Milo Manheim, and Spencer McPherson, among other players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The series puts Peyton&#8217;s acting chops on full display, as she&#8217;s forced to contend with her supernatural fate. Combining drama and thriller elements with a touch of comedy, &#8220;School Spirits&#8221; is the kind of show that wears multiple genre hats and manages to get each one to fit nicely \u2014 for the most part.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/entertainment\/14-apple-tv-shows-that-are-as-good-as-or-better-than-anything-on-netflix\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:14 Apple TV+ Shows That Are As Good As Or Better Than Anything On Netflix;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">14 Apple TV+ Shows That Are As Good As Or Better Than Anything On Netflix<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Ghosts, drama, and high school hijinks<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Peyton List and Milo Manheim in School Spirits (2023). &#8211; The Movie Database<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On Rotten Tomatoes, &#8220;School Spirits&#8221; earned a 91% on the Tomatometer, as well as a 92% score for users.
