What These New Cast Additions Mean For School Spirits Season 3
Jennifer Tilly’s Horror Experience May Point To A New Villain
While theSchool Spiritsseason 2 finalerevealed that List’s Maddie succeeded in returning to her body, the final moments of the season suggested that Simon (Kristian Ventura) now finds himself trapped within the afterlife. With the tables turned,Maddie will need all the help she can getin freeing her best friend from the same fate she just escaped from.
Yet whether these new cast additions will be either friends or foes remains to be seen. However, given Tilly’s proven track record in villainous roles, many fans would likely be expecting to see her newSchool Spiritscharacter become the show’snew antagonist following the season 2 defeat of Josh Zuckerman’s Mr. Martin.
As for Dalbert’s and Swayze’s characters, previous seasons have already shown that Split River High is still filled with the departed spirits of other former pupils beyond Maddie’s group of ghostly allies. As such, it is possible thatKyle and Livia may also be among the school’s already lively collection of the restless dead.
