Spoiler-Free Review of “School Spirits” Season 3 on Paramount+: We’re Back and Finally Getting Some Answers!

**This is a spoiler-free review for season three so feel free to read on!**

“I’m really back…”

School Spirits (season 3) released on January 28th 2026 on Paramount+ with the first three episodes available to stream now. The remaining five episodes will air weekly. The YA supernatural mystery series stars Peyton List, Kiara Pichardo, Kristian Flores, and Spencer MacPherson. Each episode runs for approximately 52-55 minutes.

Maddie has a difficult time adjusting to existing between two worlds while trying to help rescue the recently trapped Simon.

Here is the trailer:

School Spirits season 3 finally tackles some of the big questions fans have had since the beginning while expanding the existing mystery in the process. Is season 3 worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

A promising start to the new season!

I have to say that this season is already off to a very strong start. Sure, we’re uncovering A LOT, but it looks like we’re finally going to learn what’s going on here (at least a little bit) rather than dragging things out too much. There is a darker and more mature tone to this season, but it’s still balanced well with revealing new layers about some of our beloved characters (alive and dead).

I really like where this is going and I can’t wait to find out more!

This mystery is so intriguing and the show does such a great job of hooking the audience with thought-provoking cliffhangers.

New player in town!

I was super excited to see THE Jennifer Tilly guest starring this season. I’m not sure how big of a role she will play, but after watching the first three episodes, it’s clear she’s one to watch!

I also appreciate that it looks like we’re taking enough time to give every character a chance to shine. We have so many incredible characters on this show and it looks like the writers are going to devote enough time to each and every one of them rather than just relying on everything going on with Maddie.

The Cons:

A little jam-packed!

It wasn’t a major con for me, but wow did they overstuff the first three episodes. I guess there’s only a limited amount of time to get to everything, but I felt a little exhausted after watching them. There is so much to keep track of. I don’t mind because I enjoy the show, but this isn’t a show you can tune in and out of. You need to pay attention to every little detail, but I’m up to the challenge!

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

School Spirits season 3 is already delivering with plenty of shocking and heartwarming moments. This show has flown under the radar, but it really captures the vibe of the YA supernatural shows from the 90’s and I hope more people watch it because it’s fantastic!

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on School Spirits in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Chucky” on USA Network: Creepy Start!

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“Wanna play?”

Chucky premiered on USA Network and SyFy on October 12th 2021. The horror series adaptation is based on the Child’s Play franchise. The series stars Zackary Arthur, Devon Lopez, Teo Briones, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Devon Sawa, Christine Elise, and Jennifer Tilly. There will be eight episodes in total that will air weekly. 

After a vintage doll shows up in a yard sale, Jake Webber quickly learns that it will be far from easy for him to end his friendship with the latest addition to his collection…

Here is the trailer:

Chucky is giving us some killer fun in October, but can it make an impact as a television series? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Good pacing and creepy vibes!

I was worried that we would get a lot of set-up in the pilot episode, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pacing. There was a good balance of character introduction and creepy elements to remind us why we are watching this show in the first place.

I initially had some reservations about this airing on basic cable, but I didn’t need a lot of gore to be completely freaked out by what I was watching. I think that the writers and director were smart about how they approached this and there is enough content to keep you entertained so far.

Familiar faces and more to the story…

Fans will be pleased to see some familiar faces pop up throughout the series, which is another reason to tune in. We are also getting to explore some more elements involving Charles Lee Ray and his past, which gives us another side of the story so that things don’t become too stale.

The Cons:

Not too sure on the series format yet.

While I like the idea and the premise, I’m worried that we might run out of things to cover in eight episodes. Things could easily lose steam and the creepy factor can sizzle out over time. I’m keeping an open mind but this could be problematic.

So am I in or out?

I thoroughly enjoyed my watch of the pilot episode and I’m curious to see what happens next. I’m excited to see some familiar faces show up and I think we will get plenty of creepy scares to keep us on our toes!
