Josh Zuckerman (THE OFFER, "Oppenheimer") and Maria Dizzia ("13 Reasons Why," "Orange Is the New Black") have recurring guest star roles as Mr. Martin and Sandra Nears, respectively.

Oliver Goldstick ("Pretty Little Liars," "Bridgerton") serves as showrunner and executive producer of SCHOOL SPIRITS, along with creators Nate and Megan Trinrud, who wrote the pilot. Max Winkler ("Cruel Summer," "Jungleland") directed the first two episodes and also executive produced.

SCHOOL SPIRITS joins Paramount+'s growing lineup of YA content, including the hit iCARLY revival, the original films THE IN BETWEEN and HONOR SOCIETY and the upcoming TEEN WOLF: THE MOVIE.
