Along with List, the cast includes Kristian Ventura, Spencer MacPherson, Kiara Pichardo, Sarah Yarkin, Nick Pugliese, Rainbow Wedell, Josh Zuckerman and Milo Manheim.
“School Spirits” was created by Nate Trinrud and Megan Trinrud, who serve as showrunners and executive producers alongside Oliver Goldstick. List also produces. Awesomeness TV produces the series with oversight from Shauna Phelan, head of Nickelodeon and Awesomeness live-action, and Awesomeness Studios executives Brin Lukens and Austin Bedell. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
“We are so thrilled to bring ‘School Spirits’ back to our devoted audiences for another season of masterful storytelling brought to life by Peyton List and the incredible cast,” said Phelan. “Co-showrunners Oliver Goldstick, Nate Trinrud and Megan Trinrud have an exceptional ability to capture the complexity and nuance of the teen experience, while also keeping audiences on their toes with the unexpected mystery, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the students of Split River High next season.”
