Stop what you are doing. School Spirits Season 3 is here, and the afterlife bell just rang. We can confirm Paramount+ has dropped the first three episodes, and the ghost squad at Split River High is back on the case. The show’s mix of teen drama, mystery, and heartfelt hauntings hits the ground running.
Peyton List returns as Maddie Nears, the sharp, stubborn teen ghost who will not stop until the truth comes out. The new chapter raises the stakes, deepens the rules of the great beyond, and keeps the hallways buzzing with secrets, crushes, and twists. No spoilers, just the facts and the vibe.
When new episodes drop
Here is the plan. Paramount+ launched the first three episodes today. After that, new episodes arrive each week. The platform targets a midnight release on the West Coast. That means a late night, or an early alarm, if you are on the East Coast.
- 12:00 a.m. PT
- 1:00 a.m. MT
- 2:00 a.m. CT
- 3:00 a.m. ET
The first three episodes of School Spirits Season 3 are streaming now on Paramount+.

A quick refresher, spoiler free
School Spirits follows Maddie Nears, a teen who died under murky circumstances and is now stuck at school as a ghost. She teams up with a circle of spirits who share an afterlife support group in the old auditorium. Meanwhile, her friends among the living hunt for answers on the other side of the hallway. The hook is bold, but the heart of the show is friendship, grief, and second chances.
Season 3 picks up after last season’s cliffhangers and pushes deeper into the show’s rules. What keeps someone stuck. What helps someone move on. And what it costs to dig up the truth when the truth does not want to be found. It is sharp, spooky, and still very funny. 👻
Star power and the moment
Peyton List owns this role. She plays Maddie with steel and softness, and the season leans into both. Kristian Flores anchors the emotional core as Simon, the living friend who will not let go of Maddie’s story. Spencer MacPherson brings heat as Xavier, the boy with a past and a conscience. The ensemble clicks, and a few fresh faces stir the pot in the best way.
This show has become a touchstone for YA fans who want genre thrills with real feeling. It gives high school the mythic weight it deserves, then lets the humor cut through the dark. Locker doors slam. Secrets whisper. The past refuses to stay buried. That is why it connects.
The weekly plan at a glance
Here is how the rollout works from today:
- Week 1, Episodes 1 to 3 are now streaming.
- Week 2, Episode 4 arrives at the usual drop time.
- Week 3, Episode 5 follows one week later at the same time.
- Weeks after that, one new episode each week until the finale.
If your app shows a slightly different time, do not panic. Release windows can shift in select regions, but the weekly cadence holds. Keep an eye on the Episodes tab for the next tile to appear. That page updates first.
School Spirits Season 3 is not just back, it is hitting the sweet spot. Big mystery, bigger heart, and a cast in command of every beat. You know when to watch, you know where to find it, and now you have no excuse to miss a single gasp. See you in the halls, living and otherwise.
