‘School Spirits’ Teaser: Peyton List Is A Teen Ghost Stuck In High School In New Paramount+ Series

There have been plenty of films about someone who is killed and then comes back as some sort of ghost. But what if you were a teenager who was mysteriously killed and you were brought back as a ghost stuck in high school? That’s the hook of the new Paramount+ series, “School Spirits.”

As seen in the new teaser, “School Spirits” follows the story of a teen girl who is killed and sent to a weird ghostly afterlife where she is stuck in high school surrounded by other teen ghosts. While there, she takes it upon herself to uncover the truth about her death and figure out what actually went on. It’s like “Scooby Doo” meets “Ghost.” But with more teen quips and less sexual pottery.
