The third season of School Spirits is set to premiere soon on Paramount+. The show will continue exploring supernatural mysteries and personal struggles at Split River High, focusing on Maddie’s journey after her return to the living and Simon’s haunting investigations in the afterlife.
Season 3 opens with three episodes dropping simultaneously, followed by a weekly release schedule. The eight-episode season promises to deepen the narrative around the secrets hidden within the town and the challenges of protecting both the living and the dead.
Release Date and Time
School Spirits Season 3 will be available starting Wednesday, January 28, at 3:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Paramount+. After the initial three-episode premiere, new episodes will arrive weekly on Wednesdays at the same early-morning time. The season finale is scheduled to release on March 4.
Where to Watch
The entire season will stream exclusively on Paramount+. The platform offers two subscription tiers. The Essential plan costs $8.99 per month with limited ads, while the Premium plan is ad-free, priced at $13.99 monthly, and includes additional content such as Showtime titles and live CBS access.
Subscribers who prefer streaming through other services can also access Paramount+ via add-ons on Hulu or Amazon Prime Video. Adding the Paramount+ channel through these platforms costs $13.99 per month, mirroring the Premium subscription price.
Episode Count
This new chapter of School Spirits consists of eight episodes. The storytelling approach, which begins with a multi-episode release followed by weekly installments, aims to balance binge-watching appeal with prolonged audience engagement.
Plot Overview
According to Paramount’s official synopsis, the narrative centers on Maddie (played by Peyton List) as she grapples with unsettling visions and the heavy responsibility of guarding both realms — the living and the dead. Meanwhile, Simon (Kristian Ventura) remains trapped in the afterlife, becoming increasingly obsessed with hidden scars and mysteries embedded in the high school’s history.
Subscription and Trial Details
Currently, Paramount+ does not provide a free trial option. Viewers interested in exploring the platform’s full content catalog, including School Spirits, will need to select one of the paid subscription plans. The two plans cater to different viewer preferences, with the Essential plan supporting ad breaks and the Premium plan offering an uninterrupted experience.
This release aligns with Paramount+’s broader strategy to strengthen its original content lineup, which recently included the third season of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman and the documentary Handsome Devil: Charming Killer. The platform continues attracting diverse audiences with a blend of drama, true crime, and action genres.
By maintaining a consistent release schedule and expanding story arcs, School Spirits Season 3 looks to retain its dedicated fanbase and potentially draw new viewers interested in supernatural teen dramas. Paramount+’s distribution approach and pricing options also offer flexible access depending on user preferences for ads and additional content inclusions.
