Season 2 of School Spirits: What to Expect
The Mysteries of Maddie Deepen
Upon the conclusion of Season 1, viewers learnt that Janet (Jess Gabor) was living in Maddie’s body. What this implies for Maddie, her friends, and the spectral high school world she’s stuck in is examined in Season 2.
While fans will receive a significant closure, Peyton List teases that “all the questions will be explained in great length” and that new issues will surface to maintain the drama.
The Secrets of Mr. Martin Revealed
Mr Martin (Josh Zuckerman), according to the Season 2 trailer, might hold the key to solving the puzzle. Every ghost that was stuck at the school left personal belongings behind, which begs the issue of what his genuine motivations were. He has them, but why? What authority does he possess? What role does it play in Maddie’s destiny?
Romance Is the Main Event
Many fans of Maddie and Wally’s relationship will be thrilled to know that Season 2 delves deeper into their bond. Peyton List shares that Maddie finally acknowledges her feelings for Wally (Milo Manheim), leading to emotional and heartfelt moments.
However, not everyone is happy about it—especially Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin), who feels left out. Expect tension, jealousy, and drama among the ghostly group!
Simon’s Battle with Truth
Simon’s (Kristian Ventura) incredulity is one of the main obstacles in Season 2. He had assumed Maddie was just a delusion, but now he must confront the startling reality.
However, how would he respond if he finds out that Maddie’s body is still alive but has been taken over by someone else?
What Can We Expect from Season 2 of School Spirits?
Will Maddie’s body be returned?
