It’s been quite the 2025 for Peyton List. The actor not only played a pivotal role in the final installment of Cobra Kai (minor spoiler ahead) — her character was victorious in the famed Sekai Taikia — but the second season of School Spirits was a hit!
Created by Megan and Nate Trinrud, Season 2 of the Paramount+ original about a teen in the afterlife investigating her own disappearance premiered to an average audience of 3.9 million in its first 28 days (per Deadline), an increase of 94% from the series premiere.
The second season concluded in early March, but fans are clamoring for more. The supernatural teen drama has amassed both a passionate fanbase and critical acclaim (it currently has a 91% Tomatometer score). But is that good enough to earn a third season?
Was School Spirits renewed for Season 3? When exactly will School Spirits return with new episodes? Here’s everything you need to know.
The second season consists of eight episodes.
Yes! Paramount+ recently renewed School Spirits for a third season.

The series is slated to return with new episodes in 2026.
