More from TVLine
The teaser was revealed Friday during the show’s panel at New York Comic Con, along with several first-look photos, all of which you can enjoy below.
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.
