What is School Spirits season 3 about?
The season 2 finale wrapped up with Maddie finally back in her body, but Simon ends up trapped in the afterlife at Split River High. Viewers were left wondering if he's still alive or has somehow died and become a spirit. We also learn in the season 2 finale that Xavier can still see spirits. Both Janet and Wally also had the chance to cross over, but Janet chose to stay at Split River High because she wanted to get more information out of Mr. Martin. However, we never see if Wally chooses to go through with crossing over.
In School Spirits season 3, the mysteries of Split River High grow darker and more dangerous as the barrier between the living and the dead weakens. Maddie, back in her own body, struggles with haunting visions and the daunting task of protecting both worlds, while Simon remains trapped in the afterlife, driven to uncover the school’s buried secrets. As hidden dangers emerge and unanswered questions about past deaths and Mr. Martin’s warnings come to light, nothing is as it seems.
School Spirits season 3 brings back Peyton List as Maddie Nears, Kristian Ventura as Simon Elroy, Spencer MacPherson as Xavier Baxter, Kiara Pichardo as Nicole Herrera, Sarah Yarkin as Rhonda, Nick Pugliese as Charley, Rainbow Wedell as Claire Zomer, Josh Zuckerman as Mr. Martin, Ci Hang Ma as Quinn, Miles Elliot as Yuri, and Milo Manheim as Wally Clark.
Returning recurring guest stars include Maria Dizzia as Sandra, Patrick Gilmore as Mr. Anderson, Alex Zahara as Principal Hartman, Ian Tracey as Sheriff Baxter, Jess Gabor as Janet, and Zack Calderon as Diego. Last but not least is a trio of newcomers joining the cast this season: Jennifer Tilly as Dr. Hunter-Price, Ari Dalbert as Kyle, and Erika Swayze as Livia.
