Peyton List is preparing to take viewers on a thrilling ride with the upcoming release of Season 2 of ‘School Spirits’. The talented actress, known for her role as Maddie Nears in the popular series, recently revealed exclusive details about the much-anticipated new season. List promises fans that Season 2 will not only offer a huge resolution to lingering questions from the first season but will also introduce a whole new set of challenges for the characters to face.
As the countdown to the Season 2 premiere on Paramount+ begins, List teases that all the mysteries and unanswered questions from the previous season will be addressed in detail. She shares in an interview with PEOPLE, “At the end of the first season, questions are answered, and then there’s more that comes up after, and I think that’s similar with Season 2. We get a huge resolution, and then we get a whole other problem.”
The trailer for the upcoming season hints at Mr. Martin, played by Josh Zuckerman, potentially being at the core of the new challenges faced by the characters. List elaborates on this, stating that Mr. Martin’s mysterious possessions belonging to each deceased person raise questions about his true identity and motives. The evolving dynamics between Mr. Martin and Janet, portrayed by Jess Gabor, add a layer of intrigue that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Season 1 concluded with a shocking revelation that Janet now inhabits Maddie’s body, leaving Maddie’s physical form wandering the world. List explains the emotional turmoil this revelation brings, especially for Maddie’s best friend Simon, played by Kristian Ventura, who struggles to come to terms with the situation. Maddie’s journey to convince Simon of her true identity forms a poignant storyline that adds depth to the narrative.
Amidst the chaos, Maddie’s relationship with Wally, played by Milo Manheim, takes center stage in Season 2. List hints at significant character growth and heartwarming moments between Maddie and Wally, much to the delight of fans who have rooted for their relationship. However, not everyone is supportive of their blossoming romance, as Rhonda, portrayed by Sarah Yarkin, faces her own challenges and insecurities.
List praises her co-star Manheim for his infectious energy and contribution to the set, highlighting his ability to bring levity to intense scenes. She shares insights into the camaraderie among the cast, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between heavy emotional scenes and light-hearted moments on set. The collaborative and supportive environment ensures that the show’s narrative is brought to life authentically.

She humorously mentions her love for frozen yogurt and envisions a heavenly realm where she can surf, swim, and enjoy good food—an idyllic setting that mirrors her personal preferences.
