SCHOOL SPIRITS focuses on a teen stuck in the afterlife who decides to investigate her mysterious disappearance alongside a group of other students who are also stuck in limbo at their high school. The eight-episode season is set to debut in 2023 exclusively on Paramount+. The graphic novel is planned for publication in fall 2023 by Clarion Books/HarperAlley, an imprint of HarperCollins Children’s Books.
Oliver Goldstick (“Pretty Little Liars,” “Bridgerton”) serves as showrunner and executive producer, along with Nate and Megan Trinrud, who wrote the pilot. Max Winkler (“Cruel Summer,” “Jungleland”) will direct and executive produce.
SCHOOL SPIRITS joins Paramount+’s growing lineup of YA content, including the service’s hit iCARLY series revival, which was renewed for a third season, as well as the recently released film, HONOR SOCIETY, starring Angourie Rice (“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Mare of Easttown”).
