Peyton List, star of the Paramount+ series School Spirits, discusses Season 2's focus on Janet's backstory, the mysteries surrounding Maddie's predicament, and the emotional impact of potential separation from her ghost friends.
In Season 2 of the Paramount+ series School Spirits, Maddie Nears (Peyton List) now knows that she’s not actually dead, but she’s still stuck in limbo because the ghost of Janet (Jess Gabor) has taken control of her body. On a journey to reclaim her stolen life and future, Maddie is torn, wondering whether Janet deserves to live out her own dreams even more. Between Janet ’s plan, whatever Mr.
Martin (Josh Zuckerman) has been up to, her feelings for Wally (Milo Manheim), and not wanting to leave her ghost friends to be with the friends she thought she’d never get to be with again if she were actually dead, there are a lot of questions that still need to be answered. During this one-on-one interview with Collider, List talked about trusting the creators/showrunners of School Spirits that they won’t steer her wrong, what she was most excited about with Season 2, getting her questions answered, where Maddie will fit back into her own life, whether she’ll ever even see Wally, Charley (Nick Pugliese) and Rhonda (Sarah Yarkin) again if she does get her body back, why everyone needs a Simon (Kristian Ventura), and the memorable addition of Pottery Guy (Miles Elliot). She also shared what it was like to wrap the final season of Cobra Kai and how emotional it was to say goodbye to that series. Collider: I loved the first season, and I had no idea where the second season was going to go, but I’m digging where you are taking it so far. PEYTON LIST: Oh, thank you. Well, you and me both. I didn’t know where they were taking it either. They just kept telling me to trust them. I would follow Nate and Megan Trinrud, our showrunners and creators, through anything in life, so I was like, “Okay, I’m just trusting you.” The first season of any TV series is about establishing the world, the characters, and the relationships. With Season 2, you can really dig into all the things that you had to set up in Season 1. What were you most excited to get to dig deeper into this season? LIST: I was really excited to dig into Janet and her backstory. Who is this person that is now running around in Maddie’s body? I feel like we figured out the what, and then the second season is all about the how and figuring out the rules. If Janet didn’t move on, but Dawn did, what is the logic here? What are the rules? I love when a character that everyone has forgotten about suddenly becomes the most important character on the show. LIST: I love that too. They were like, “None of you are gonna get it,” and none of us did. We were working every day on this, and none of us guessed that it was Janet from group that got out in Maddie’s body. It was there if you paid attention, but a lot of people were texting me like, “What is going on? Who is this person?” You had to pay attention. What were the biggest questions you had about Maddie, going into Season 2, and do you feel like you got those questions answered by the end of the season? LIST: I think I did. I feel like everything was left on the floor. I feel like I got a lot of the answers. But then, with the season finale, there are more questions. What I do like about the show is that it’s not six seasons of trying to figure out what happened to Maddie. We knew what happened to Maddie at the end of Season 1, and then we get answers within a season. They’re not trying to make this the longest running show, ever. They’re just trying to make it fun. If Maddie does figure out how to get her spirit back in her body, is the series over? Have they told you what the plan is for after that? LIST: I have the same question. I really have the same question. They haven’t really told me. They were like, “We have plans.” But I wanna hear it. I wanna know, as well. If Maddie were able to be alive again, which relationship in her life do you think would change the most from what it had been before? LIST: Definitely her relationship with Charley, Wally and Rhonda. But I think the obvious one for Maddie would be Wally because she’s in love with this boy. She can’t help it. She doesn’t want to be. It just makes no sense at all. But I feel like that’s young love and first love. It just makes no sense at all and you can’t help it. Wally would be the one she’d miss the most. If Maddie gets her life back, she won’t ever be able to see them again, which makes it all so sad. LIST: It’s incredibly sad. When I would even think about it, it was crazy how emotional I would get
