About “School Spirits” in a few words:

School Spirits is a supernatural teen drama that blends mystery, afterlife lore, and high school vibes as you’ve never seen them before. It centers on Maddie Nears, a teen stuck as a spirit at Split River High with no clue how she ended up dead. As she tries to piece together her disappearance, she encounters friends, foes, and all sorts of paranormal twists, uncovering secrets that reach far beyond the school walls.

Meet the characters from School Spirits

Maddie Nears

Maddie Nears is that buzzing, impossible-to-ignore core of the show. She’s sharp, a little sarcastic, and has this ridiculous habit of carrying three notebooks even though she swears she never writes in them. Maddie runs on curiosity and adrenaline; she pokes at mysteries until they spill their secrets, but also gets weirdly sentimental about old mixtapes (don’t ask why). She’ll make a plan and then abandon it for something more interesting five minutes later — chaotic, yes, but somehow brilliant.

Simon Elroy

Simon Elroy is the quiet brainiac who notices the tiny stuff everyone else walks past. A touch awkward and completely earnest, he’ll sketch conspiracy diagrams on any scrap of paper and then apologize for the mess like it’s his fault. He’s loyal to a fault, talks to his houseplants (and names them), and can cite a horror movie fact for literally any situation. There’s a slow-burn courage under the shyness—he’s not flashy, but when it matters he’s the one who actually does the hard thing.

Xavier Baxter

Xavier Baxter is pure theatrical chaos in a blazer — loud, impulsive, and probably responsible for at least one glitter bomb in the auditorium. He loves attention, contradicts himself constantly (I think he swore off drama last week?), and would absolutely stage a fake exorcism as a prank then sit up all night checking on the terrified person. Under the bravado there’s a real hunger to be seen and to matter, which makes him infuriating and oddly lovable. Also, he collects vintage buttons for reasons he will never fully explain.

Nicole Herrera

Nicole Herrera is the steady center everyone leans on: organized, fierce, and not someone to be underestimated. She coordinates rescue missions like it’s a hobby, uses sarcasm as both shield and affection, and hums quietly while she plots, which is unnervingly soothing. Secretly she teaches herself card tricks in the back of class (no one expects that) and has principles so solid they border on stubbornness — did I say stubborn? yes, very stubborn. She also has a weird habit of stealing pens and returning them weeks later with a tiny doodle, which is random but true.

Rhonda

Rhonda is the wild card — mysterious, a little ethereal, wearing oversized coats like armor and showing up at weird hours. She talks in half-jokes and full prophecies, and you can never tell if she’s messing with you or actually predicting things (probably both). People call her aloof but she leaves anonymous notes and snacks in locker nooks at midnight, which is surprisingly sweet. You get the sense she remembers other lives sometimes, or at least remembers things no one else does — slightly spooky, but in a comforting way.
