Production is officially underway on a second season of School Spirits — meanwhile, we’re over here still struggling to wrap our brains around that freshman finale twist.

More from TVLine

Based on a graphic novel of the same name, School Spirits follows a teenage ghost named Maddie Nears as she attempts to solve her own recent murder. She’s aided by new friends in the afterlife, specifically a support group of other teenagers who have been murdered on school grounds, as well as her still-living friend Simon, with whom Maddie shares a vague spiritual connection.

The eight-episode first season introduced a number of potential killers, only to end with a polarizing, out-of-left-field twist: Maddie never actually died! Her spirit was merely separated from her body after it was stolen by a vengeful ghost who died in a fire set by the support group’s supposed mentor. (Yup.) The finale ended with “Maddie” boarding a bus out of town.

Read on for a breakdown of everything we know about School Spirits‘ sophomore year, including the fresh faces we’ll encounter at Split River High, then drop a comment with your thoughts on what’s to come.

She must unite her friends in the spectral and living worlds in order to reclaim her stolen life.”
