What happens when you mix high school drama, unsolved mysteries, and a ghostly love triangle (or two)? You get School Spirits—and Season 2 is taking everything to the next level. More secrets. More hauntings. More romance. And yes, it’s even gayer.
This season, Maddie’s journey in the afterlife gets more complicated as new truths unravel, old spirits reveal hidden pasts, and relationships—both spectral and human—get even messier. Caitlynn McDaniel sat down with the cast to unpack it all:
This season, Maddie’s journey in the afterlife gets more complicated as new truths unravel, old spirits reveal hidden pasts, and relationships—both spectral and human—get even messier. Caitlynn McDaniel sat down with the cast to unpack it all:
- Nick Pugliese, Sarah Yarkin & Josh Zuckerman on ghostly perks (and major downsides), the most ridiculous fan theories they’ve heard, and the hilarious lies they’ve made up about the show themselves.
- Spencer MacPherson, Rainbow Wedell, Kiara Pichardo & Kristian Ventura on real-life ghost encounters, the ultimate haunted high school wardrobe, and whether naming a ghost makes them friendlier (or just creepier).

Strawut Media.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's gayer.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
It is gayer, that is what we love to hear,
and hotter because of the gayer and therefore sexier yet
SEXIERO and all the adjectives that go along with those three.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I love a good mystery. I love when I can't
actually tell what's going to happen, Like when it could
be the Butler, but it could also be the maid,
but you're not really sure.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Stay with me.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I'm Katelein McDaniel, and this week on Pride, we're talking
with the cast of the Paramount Plus series School Spirits.
The show follows Maddie, a high school student who finds
herself stuck in the afterlife with other students who died
on campus, forced to solve her own murder with the
help of her ghost and human friends. It stars Peyton List,
Milo Manheim, Nick Pugley's and Sarah Yarkin and so many
(00:54):
amazing others. I was hooked after the first season dropped
in March of twenty twenty three. Now, with season two,
finally hear things are getting real. Not only are we
unraveling the truth about Mattie's death, but we're also uncovering
secrets about the spirits that roam the halls and the
mysteries behind their decades old departures. Plus, let's be real,
(01:15):
there are some steamy ghost relationships happening and I need
someone to talk to about it.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
So here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
First up, I sat down with Nick Pugley's, Sarah Yarkin,
and Josh Suckerman to talk all things ghost Life. We
covered the perks and serious downsides of being stuck in
the afterlife, their favorite fan theories, and the wildest guesses
they've made up about the show themselves. Congratulations on season two.
(01:54):
I'm so excited for everyone to see it. I loved
both seasons. Why haven't watched the full season two yet?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Well? Good, we're all we don't know where. I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Everyone was saying it felt like it was just yesterday
that it was filming.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Is it different for you.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's funny.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
It feels like somehow, yes, we just wrapped, But also
I don't remember anything that we do.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I have no condensed
memories from the time.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
In the two seasons really bleed together so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Anyway, it.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Does feel like a long time ago. Yeah, I don't know.
So it's good.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Then you don't have to worry about spoiling it then
because you're like I don't, I don't.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Know, girl who knows?
Speaker 9 (02:39):
Like, actually, we'll probably mislead people.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah, I mean that's that's fun though. Then you can
just start spinning eyes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But I think we did consider doing that earlier.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I was going to ask, like, have you contributed to
any like guesses on what's going on where you're just
like actually saying.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Wrong things refuge right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Like a little misdirection, like we could start it now,
yea fall in love, that's with each other, twizz.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
And then I have to mediate their divorce.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Did not work out quick appreciated media.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Yeah, okay, I love that.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Of course I want to get real.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I mean, you all play ghosts, right, and so what
is like a pro and a con of being a ghost?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Con is you're always wearing the same.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Clothes and you can't leave that school in school.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Yeah, that's too big. Con.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Do you mean like for acting acting playing the ghost
or like a character that it's a ghost.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I mean I was going more on the character, like
being an actual ghost.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I would say, actually, might those two might still.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Stand if you're actually a ghost of being the character.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, you'd probably go crazy, like wearing the same I
think you're.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
Stuck in the school.
Speaker 10 (04:00):
But also there's a certain like you can eat, but
I think always eat.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Right, are you hungry? Yeah, I don't know, like.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
You know, spaghetti to check.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Checks yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:17):
So or yeah.
Speaker 10 (04:19):
But there's not the same satisfaction. You know, you eat
a big you know you're like, oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
I ate that. But I think there's a difference.
Speaker 10 (04:24):
That's a big con as well.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
Never feeling I mean, I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I didn't know how food really went in this series,
Like I always pictured it in like Pirates of the
Caribbean where the pirate wants to eat the apple but
he can't. But I don't know if that's it feels
here can eat, you can't.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But there's been a description on set about this.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
Really, I think it's learning right now that a part
we can eat but we don't feel full, which I.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Didn't know that way.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I think it's like it's not really, it's more it's
not like weird digesting.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Yes, it's like memory.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
What's what's a good thing about being ghosts?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Being?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
You can never age time to think you get you
get to meet people from other eras.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
You can't get round people, you can't get hurt.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You can't feel pain, yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yes, yes, you can't die pain.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah it's true.
Speaker 9 (05:16):
Yeah, you can't die.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I die on.
Speaker 10 (05:20):
And you you know, you can make guesses and uh
an money guesses about the future, and you can bet
on the future, but you can't redeem it.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
I don't know. I don't know it's gonna happen. I
know they have a board.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
I think I'm gonna.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
I've got a bookie.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Part time in the bookie, there's the there's support group,
and then at night there's the bookie.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Anyway, so I'm just trying to find me.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, yeah, this is I think that's the answer.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, sorry, no, that is the answer.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
And going off of that, you talked about how you
know you can only talk to the people that are
there with you. So if you could bring anyone into
like the school, let's say, and you would haunt together forever,
would you want to bring.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
In our real life?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
They can be like real dead anything you want.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Meryl Street, understand.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You become a really good actress.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
You can just get you get actives.
Speaker 11 (06:26):
Already know that that wasn't.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
The other way around we all feel is.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I hope, like I get some acting classes out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Next, I'm sorry, and I.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Guess, like my dog, what's your doctor? Finley, he's in
the season. He's in so much about episode five. I'm
so Fleys in it.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Okay, that's why you've heard so much about it.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
Drops, But like that that's a big people will that's
a big it's kind of gone to his head.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
But now, yeah, so it's a lot. I guess I'll
plug it for him.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
He's taking acting lessons with.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
The Yeah, did you have a different I was thinking,
so I was going like Beyonce.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
And you could learn from you can learn some singing
and dancing.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
How about you?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
What?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
There are no rules?
Speaker 9 (07:43):
Really, who would you invite in?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah? So you were gonna hot forever with someone like you?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Who would you choose?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (07:52):
My wife?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That was crazy?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You should.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
It wouldn't Yeah, sure, yeah, okay if.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
They wanted to pick another.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
I mean, uh uh like a great I mean, I
don't know.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
We've got we've got dancing, we've singing, we've got acting.
I feel like we should bring like.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A wrestler.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
The Rocky.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
So there you go, right, Actually, he could give me
a great addition to the show. I mean, he would
really bring something we don't have, I mean, like a ukulele.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
I don't know why I picture him.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh yeah, contractually.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
It fits h well.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Not to like divert from all of that, but Nick,
I did want to ask you because we posted a
little bit on our TikTok and it was the just
kind of a relationship timeline of Emelia and Charlie, and
we got this comment that said, truly, the best case
line I have seen in years. This show is so underrated.
Season two is about to go raise. So I just
(09:06):
wanted to get kind of your reaction to that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's the sweetest thing.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
I just told the story today that somebody at the
gym came up to me and he related to me
that basically the storyline between Charlie and Emilio was his exact storyline,
like he came from Latin America and then was in
a relationship that they were in the closet, they got
outed there, they broke up, there was some mean letter,
and then they never were able to speak to each
other again. And so it's I mean, that's amazing. That
(09:33):
like makes me so happy that it's resonating with people.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, absolutely incredible. I don't want to know who commented that.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
I would say that, I don't.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I didn't write it down, but it's definitely like user one, two, three,
four five. But I will find it later. I'll find
it for later. But also going off of that, do
you have a gay storyline that really resonates with you
and other media?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Gosh, you know, Okay, I don't know if this is
necessarily something that I relate to, but something that really
struck me as There's this book called Tell the Wolves
I'm Home. I've talked about this so many times and
it's just like gorgeous and it's about the relationship or
friendship that blooms between this fourteen year old girl who
loses her uncle and her uncle's partner and they sort
(10:24):
of have this bond over through mutual grief of losing
the most important person that they.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Loved the most.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And that storyline is like just heartbreaking and beautiful and
just shows all sides of love and sort of the
casualties that can also happen in moments of loss that
reach out.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
I love that. I'll definitely have to check it out.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's so good.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Tell those I'm Home by Carol Rifka Burne. Yes, I
dm her on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I was like, I love your book and she responded, yeah,
she was great. That's okay.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Going off of other storylines, I did ask this to
the other group because I was curious, and I asked,
do you think that people are going to start shipping
Claire and Nicole together?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I just wanted to know what are your what are your.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Thoughts on that? That would be a really good storyline.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
That'd be hot.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, we'll start.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
At I mean, yeah, I think that happens.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I think that, Yeah, I saw that somewhere.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And if it doesn't, next season, right, next season three?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
And then do you think what do you think their
ship name would be?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Though?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Because that was really they were torn on that.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Not their because that's the hair remove that would be
different click click call.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The sounds like it could be friends, weird.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
I think I think they came to something similar.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
They were good.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So I'm thinking about. I'm gonna get texted at midnight.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
I got it getting very visual learner, so I have
to like write it down and then.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I'll yeah, yeah, write like Baltimore just kind of figure
it out.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, No, it's just.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Do you write in cursively right now?
Speaker 8 (12:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I don't think I write in the air that often
something I'm doing, so what.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
But the next time I do it, I'll try to
take note of.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Cursive or upper upper can see.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's on hair writer, that's crazy. What is one short
little tease you can say for audiences for season two?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I know it's hard, it's gayer.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
It is gayer.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
That is what we love to hear.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, and hotter and hotter because of the gayer and
therefore sexier.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, and all the adjectives that go along with those three.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yes might drop.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well, thank you so much. If you're keeping up with
the show, then you know the relationship between Charlie and Uri,
a ghost who died in the seventies and has been
haunting the art classroom making pottery ever since. I won't
spoil too much for those who are planning to keep
watching this season, but after the heartbreaking queer love story
(13:18):
they gave us with Charlie in season one, this one
feels so healing. Next, I chatted with Spencer McPherson, Rainbow Widell,
(13:39):
Hiara Piccardo, and Christian Ventura. We get into everything from
what they'd wear if they had to haunt a high
school forever, real life ghost stories, and whether or not
it's a good idea to name your ghostly roommate. And
this is from me. I'm seriously asking, I need advice.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Hi, It's so.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Great to meet you all. Congratulations on season too. How
are you feeling being back?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Really good, fantastic?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It was it was like no time passive.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, I mean I definitely feel like the you know,
the episodes pick right up and everyone's going to be
so excited to see the new mysteries. I know I'm
talking to not ghosts here, but there's definitely you know,
like when you're in your ghost form in the show,
you have to have your one outfit. So I just
wanted to start off asking, do.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
You know what your one outfit would be if you
were a ghost? What you would want it to be?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Obviously as us from the whole season, like our wardrobes,
I mean, it can be from your your personal wardrobe.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Just like if you were to have one outfit, do
you know what you'd want it to be?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You know, I've always been a huge fan of pockets.
Pockets like a trench coach. Just to have everything tools
flash like.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Stuff to your pockets full of things and you'd have
all that.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
He's you're hungry.
Speaker 12 (15:02):
If you had like a candy bar in a pocket,
would it just always? Would you just have unlimited candy balls? Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Who are we sponsoring today?
Speaker 12 (15:12):
I love clothes cheerleader outfit. It would be so uncomfortable,
so I wouldn't choose that. But if it was not
uncomfortable to wear, I would wear that. But I think
just like I love her outfit in episode.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Five, but I can't say what it is, but I
love that, Okay, and a little preview for everyone to
be to be looking for.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
What about you, Spencer?
Speaker 13 (15:35):
I would I would want to wear something with a
lot of layers. Like if you've seen the movie The
Sixth Sense, Bruce Willis's character is wearing something different throughout
the whole movie, so it kind of throws you off
the scent a bit because he can you know, he's
in the vest sometimes and then the jacket. So I'd
want a lot of layers.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
She really dropping little clues for your own movie.
Speaker 14 (16:00):
Of New England and I love the fall season. So
there's this outfit that Nicole where's we could see the outfits. Okay,
it's like this gene jumpsuit thing, but it's shorts. And
then she had the black stockings, Doc warns, and it's
like flannel drop jacket.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I was like, this is giving tumblr in the best way.
I love tights with shorts always so good. And you know,
just on the same line of ghosts, do any of
you have a good like ghost story from your personal life, Like,
have you ever had.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
An experience.
Speaker 13 (16:34):
You First, I stayed at an Airbnb in Burbank that
was like haunted and this was right before COVID started,
and like there was just too many coincidences back to
back that were terrifying me and my buddy who I
was staying with. And uh, by the time that Justin
(16:58):
Trudeau came on the news and said, like, you have
to return home, I was like I didn't need any push,
Like I was out that door the second Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, I have more of a supernatural experience than ghost precisely.
But I remember when I was I was a child
in a church and I was with my mom. She
was praying in front of the statue and I was bored,
so I went ahead and try to leave the church.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
It was locked.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All the doors were locked, and so I thought that
I was trapped, and so I started crying and yelling Mom, Mom,
where are you?
Speaker 9 (17:32):
And I couldn't find her empty church.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
A couple of minutes later, when I'm sitting in the
middle of the pew, I see her and I said,
why didn't you hear me screaming? She said there was
no sound at all. It was complete silence. And then
the doors when we left were open and I didn't
see her.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
She didn't see me.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It was like the strangest, weirdest thing ever. Yeah, like,
how do you not hear someone?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I got the way you've told it too, like this
is the new this is season three. Now do you
believe in naming ghosts if you do encounter them? Because
I have a ghost in my apartment. It was named
her Tina, and people have like differing thoughts on if
like you should name them, because you know, she didn't
tell me that was her name.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I just felt it. I like that, you know, like
does it make it better or worse?
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Better?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Right, Like then I feel like we're more friends, but.
Speaker 13 (18:24):
Maybe she doesn't want me and my older I used
to live with my sister and there was like an
entity that we felt was in our apartment and she
named it Billy and Billy. Now that name scares.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
Me kind of back, yeah, but it was meant to
be affectionate.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (18:42):
I don't like the thought of like being like friends
with ghosts like me personally, It just it scares me
rather to stay with.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
The real people.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
See, I was going to ask, like, so, do you
think that if you had a ghost encounter, would you
be as chill as like Simon was in season one
where he's just like, oh, I just see my friend.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
It's fine, you know, Like I mean, yeah, there's a
level to like coming to terms with that. But like,
how do you think you would personally re.
Speaker 14 (19:06):
I mean, I believe in that stuff, So I feel
like I would be scared. But would I run out
the house.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
No?
Speaker 14 (19:12):
But would I be like yeah, like a little shock effect.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, okay, okay, how about any of you?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
How do you think you'd react?
Speaker 11 (19:22):
I would also have a shock reaction.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
But I think I would like it if they were
like a nice ghost and they were they were.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Like keeping me company.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
If it's always having a friend there, it could be fine.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Drinking wine.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
It can be a bonding experience, bond they're always there.
I mean, you know it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I think it differs for every experience, obviously, And I
wanted to ask each of you from season one. Obviously
there's a mystery that's going on and we don't always
know what's happening. Did you have an aha moment something
just really surprised you during filming or after when you were.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Watching it in season one?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
You said, yeah, season one. Because you can't give spoilers, Well.
Speaker 14 (20:08):
The ending for me, like jumping into her body. I
didn't see that coming at all, because they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They don't.
Speaker 14 (20:15):
They didn't give us the scripts beforehand. So we got
the scripts like a week before we shot, okay, and
so when we found that out and when we had our.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Table where we were like wait what, Yeah, We're all.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Like every time I watched the first episode of the
second season, I pause on Janet's face when she's about
to run to Maddie because her reaction to take Peydon
is so instantaneous that I'm thinking, what is in her adrenaline?
(20:45):
What spikes her to not even think it's just person
take that? That's like I want to.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Know about it.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
You're like trying to mind read.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah, just try because yeah, absolutely anyone else.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
I think that the scene the finale of season one
where Simon realizes, at least to his knowledge, that he
is perhaps like imagining all of this in his head
was such a massive moment for me. Reading it and
watching the way Christian brought that to life was just
like so sad and so like it totally makes sense,
(21:22):
like this show could end there and it could just
be like, oh yeah, he was just imagining the yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, and the pain that you see in both of
them and is intense.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Absolutely, I'm glad that it.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Didn't end there and there is a thing right too,
because that would be heartbroken, but I agree like it
would be it would be really powerful for sure.
Speaker 11 (21:44):
Absolutely, And Okay, so.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Going into the to the mysteries, I saw that in
season one, Milo had like a vision board to solve it.
So do any of you do something similar? Did you
get together for season two and try to guess what
was going to happen or you just letting it flow?
Speaker 11 (22:02):
Yeah, we definitely had some theories.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
We didn't do it as much as season one.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
I think, yeah, we don't have a vision goal.
Speaker 13 (22:08):
I think we were just going for the I guess
one thing, correct, I remember, and I was right.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I was paying Oh wait.
Speaker 13 (22:17):
Tell it?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Did you write it down to your like evidence thought?
Speaker 9 (22:21):
I said it to a couple of Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
You're like I called this first, No one can doubt me. Well,
I'm excited to see what that is about. Do you
have any advice for solving a mystery.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oide the box?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Yeah, yeah, good question, because you.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Are all like, really the detectives here because the next
act to go talk to the ghosts, and they're not
I mean, they're trying to solve it.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
But I would say, for example, if you're, say a Christian,
I want you to investigate this.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Who did it?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I would rule out some people in my life because
I know they wouldn't. Those are the people to go to,
the people that are unsuspecting. You give them too much credit.
We'd be really surprised what people would do if like
you were, for example, Janet. So yeah, don't rule out
your first rule outs.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Don't trust anyone.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
I don't think I would have any skills to bring
to the table with investigating.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
I always wanted to be a detective as a kid,
but I think i'd be shite. That makes sense, Like
I think I would just not be good at all.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
No, I think he's really Yeah, he's really great at that.
Speaker 14 (23:32):
Okay, you would have been a great detective.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
He's actually an undercover detect his persona right now.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
I would actually be bad.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
That's what a good detective would say.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Oh, I wish I was.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Especially after he admitted to guessing the entire place.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Really, I've been caught.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I mean, I know we can't say spoilers, but is
there one thing that you're looking forward to, like the
audience reacting to with season two?
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Just what people can.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Expect Episode five guys, Yeah, we teased it earlier.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
That is, yeah, my favorite episode. I think that's gonna
be a lot of people's favorite episodes.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
I can't say anything, but I would say the different
dynamics and like seeing how how they grow.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah, yeah, No, I mean I did want to touch
on that real quick, just because I feel like Claire
and Nicole their dynamic is interesting, and I just wanted
to ask you both kind of like what's going on
with that?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
What can we say? What is?
Speaker 12 (24:35):
No, they don't they definitely don't start off as friends,
and so they their journeys is definitely an interesting one.
But they're both very strong personalities, they're both very they
don't deal with bs, they're very they don't sugarcoat anything,
(24:55):
they're very Yeah, and so I think that they both
would they have like mutual respect towards each other with that,
and that's where like the most genuine friendships come out
of honesty.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
And yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 14 (25:09):
I feel like we were pulled into a circumstance that
we probably didn't plan, but we were kind of forced
to work together, and in that it sort of created
a more vulnerable relationship between Nicole and Clear, and it's
just nice seeing that blossom as the season continues.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Do you think people are shipping them online?
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I think eventually they will.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I don't know if they were before season one.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
I think I know in season one, I think they
could tell that we didn't like each other.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
I read that enemies celeveries is the best enemies.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
Yeah, you know, I think I think they'll like us
this season. Like our friendship. I think they'll ship it or.
Speaker 15 (25:51):
Yeah, clinical, I think we need to workshop it.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Thank you all so much. Congratulations on the new season.
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
And that's a wrap on My School Spirits season. Two
cast interviews. This season is bigger, creepier, and gayer than ever,
so basically everything you could want. Make sure you're following
for more interviews with your favorite stars, and if you
haven't started watching School Spirits yet, now is the time,
because let's be honest, who doesn't love a high school
mystery with ghosts, drama, and a lot of queer romance.
(26:38):
Episodes released weekly, with the season finally hitting Paramount Plus
on March twentieth. Thanks for listening and I'll catch you
next time.
Strawut Media.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's gayer.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
It is gayer, that is what we love to hear,
and hotter because of the gayer and therefore sexier yet
SEXIERO and all the adjectives that go along with those three.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I love a good mystery. I love when I can't
actually tell what's going to happen, Like when it could
be the Butler, but it could also be the maid,
but you're not really sure.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Stay with me.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I'm Katelein McDaniel, and this week on Pride, we're talking
with the cast of the Paramount Plus series School Spirits.
The show follows Maddie, a high school student who finds
herself stuck in the afterlife with other students who died
on campus, forced to solve her own murder with the
help of her ghost and human friends. It stars Peyton List,
Milo Manheim, Nick Pugley's and Sarah Yarkin and so many
(00:54):
amazing others. I was hooked after the first season dropped
in March of twenty twenty three. Now, with season two,
finally hear things are getting real. Not only are we
unraveling the truth about Mattie's death, but we're also uncovering
secrets about the spirits that roam the halls and the
mysteries behind their decades old departures. Plus, let's be real,
(01:15):
there are some steamy ghost relationships happening and I need
someone to talk to about it.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
So here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
First up, I sat down with Nick Pugley's, Sarah Yarkin,
and Josh Suckerman to talk all things ghost Life. We
covered the perks and serious downsides of being stuck in
the afterlife, their favorite fan theories, and the wildest guesses
they've made up about the show themselves. Congratulations on season two.
(01:54):
I'm so excited for everyone to see it. I loved
both seasons. Why haven't watched the full season two yet?
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Well? Good, we're all we don't know where. I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Everyone was saying it felt like it was just yesterday
that it was filming.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Is it different for you.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's funny.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
It feels like somehow, yes, we just wrapped, But also
I don't remember anything that we do.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I have no condensed
memories from the time.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
In the two seasons really bleed together so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Anyway, it.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Does feel like a long time ago. Yeah, I don't know.
So it's good.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Then you don't have to worry about spoiling it then
because you're like I don't, I don't.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Know, girl who knows?
Speaker 9 (02:39):
Like, actually, we'll probably mislead people.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah, I mean that's that's fun though. Then you can
just start spinning eyes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But I think we did consider doing that earlier.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I was going to ask, like, have you contributed to
any like guesses on what's going on where you're just
like actually saying.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Wrong things refuge right, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Like a little misdirection, like we could start it now,
yea fall in love, that's with each other, twizz.
Speaker 9 (03:13):
And then I have to mediate their divorce.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Did not work out quick appreciated media.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Yeah, okay, I love that.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
Of course I want to get real.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I mean, you all play ghosts, right, and so what
is like a pro and a con of being a ghost?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Con is you're always wearing the same.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Clothes and you can't leave that school in school.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Yeah, that's too big. Con.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Do you mean like for acting acting playing the ghost
or like a character that it's a ghost.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
I mean I was going more on the character, like
being an actual ghost.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I would say, actually, might those two might still.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Stand if you're actually a ghost of being the character.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, you'd probably go crazy, like wearing the same I
think you're.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
Stuck in the school.
Speaker 10 (04:00):
But also there's a certain like you can eat, but
I think always eat.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Right, are you hungry? Yeah, I don't know, like.
Speaker 9 (04:11):
You know, spaghetti to check.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Checks yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:17):
So or yeah.
Speaker 10 (04:19):
But there's not the same satisfaction. You know, you eat
a big you know you're like, oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
I ate that. But I think there's a difference.
Speaker 10 (04:24):
That's a big con as well.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
Never feeling I mean, I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I didn't know how food really went in this series,
Like I always pictured it in like Pirates of the
Caribbean where the pirate wants to eat the apple but
he can't. But I don't know if that's it feels
here can eat, you can't.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But there's been a description on set about this.
Speaker 8 (04:44):
Really, I think it's learning right now that a part
we can eat but we don't feel full, which I.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Didn't know that way.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I think it's like it's not really, it's more it's
not like weird digesting.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
Yes, it's like memory.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
What's what's a good thing about being ghosts?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Being?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
You can never age time to think you get you
get to meet people from other eras.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
You can't get round people, you can't get hurt.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You can't feel pain, yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yes, yes, you can't die pain.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah it's true.
Speaker 9 (05:16):
Yeah, you can't die.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I die on.
Speaker 10 (05:20):
And you you know, you can make guesses and uh
an money guesses about the future, and you can bet
on the future, but you can't redeem it.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
I don't know. I don't know it's gonna happen. I
know they have a board.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
I think I'm gonna.
Speaker 9 (05:40):
I've got a bookie.
Speaker 10 (05:43):
Part time in the bookie, there's the there's support group,
and then at night there's the bookie.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Anyway, so I'm just trying to find me.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, yeah, this is I think that's the answer.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, sorry, no, that is the answer.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
And going off of that, you talked about how you
know you can only talk to the people that are
there with you. So if you could bring anyone into
like the school, let's say, and you would haunt together forever,
would you want to bring.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
In our real life?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
They can be like real dead anything you want.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Meryl Street, understand.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You become a really good actress.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
You can just get you get actives.
Speaker 11 (06:26):
Already know that that wasn't.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
The other way around we all feel is.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I hope, like I get some acting classes out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Next, I'm sorry, and I.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Guess, like my dog, what's your doctor? Finley, he's in
the season. He's in so much about episode five. I'm
so Fleys in it.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Okay, that's why you've heard so much about it.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
Drops, But like that that's a big people will that's
a big it's kind of gone to his head.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
But now, yeah, so it's a lot. I guess I'll
plug it for him.
Speaker 9 (07:18):
He's taking acting lessons with.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
The Yeah, did you have a different I was thinking,
so I was going like Beyonce.
Speaker 8 (07:30):
And you could learn from you can learn some singing
and dancing.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
How about you?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
What?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
There are no rules?
Speaker 9 (07:43):
Really, who would you invite in?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah? So you were gonna hot forever with someone like you?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Who would you choose?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (07:52):
My wife?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That was crazy?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
You should.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
It wouldn't Yeah, sure, yeah, okay if.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
They wanted to pick another.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
I mean, uh uh like a great I mean, I
don't know.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
We've got we've got dancing, we've singing, we've got acting.
I feel like we should bring like.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A wrestler.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
The Rocky.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
So there you go, right, Actually, he could give me
a great addition to the show. I mean, he would
really bring something we don't have, I mean, like a ukulele.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
I don't know why I picture him.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh yeah, contractually.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
It fits h well.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Not to like divert from all of that, but Nick,
I did want to ask you because we posted a
little bit on our TikTok and it was the just
kind of a relationship timeline of Emelia and Charlie, and
we got this comment that said, truly, the best case
line I have seen in years. This show is so underrated.
Season two is about to go raise. So I just
(09:06):
wanted to get kind of your reaction to that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's the sweetest thing.
Speaker 7 (09:10):
I just told the story today that somebody at the
gym came up to me and he related to me
that basically the storyline between Charlie and Emilio was his exact storyline,
like he came from Latin America and then was in
a relationship that they were in the closet, they got
outed there, they broke up, there was some mean letter,
and then they never were able to speak to each
other again. And so it's I mean, that's amazing. That
(09:33):
like makes me so happy that it's resonating with people.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, absolutely incredible. I don't want to know who commented that.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
I would say that, I don't.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I didn't write it down, but it's definitely like user one, two, three,
four five. But I will find it later. I'll find
it for later. But also going off of that, do
you have a gay storyline that really resonates with you
and other media?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Gosh, you know, Okay, I don't know if this is
necessarily something that I relate to, but something that really
struck me as There's this book called Tell the Wolves
I'm Home. I've talked about this so many times and
it's just like gorgeous and it's about the relationship or
friendship that blooms between this fourteen year old girl who
loses her uncle and her uncle's partner and they sort
(10:24):
of have this bond over through mutual grief of losing
the most important person that they.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Loved the most.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
And that storyline is like just heartbreaking and beautiful and
just shows all sides of love and sort of the
casualties that can also happen in moments of loss that
reach out.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
I love that. I'll definitely have to check it out.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's so good.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Tell those I'm Home by Carol Rifka Burne. Yes, I
dm her on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I was like, I love your book and she responded, yeah,
she was great. That's okay.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Going off of other storylines, I did ask this to
the other group because I was curious, and I asked,
do you think that people are going to start shipping
Claire and Nicole together?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
I just wanted to know what are your what are your.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Thoughts on that? That would be a really good storyline.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
That'd be hot.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, we'll start.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
At I mean, yeah, I think that happens.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
I think that, Yeah, I saw that somewhere.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
And if it doesn't, next season, right, next season three?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
And then do you think what do you think their
ship name would be?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Though?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Because that was really they were torn on that.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Not their because that's the hair remove that would be
different click click call.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The sounds like it could be friends, weird.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
I think I think they came to something similar.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
They were good.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
So I'm thinking about. I'm gonna get texted at midnight.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
I got it getting very visual learner, so I have
to like write it down and then.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I'll yeah, yeah, write like Baltimore just kind of figure
it out.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, No, it's just.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Do you write in cursively right now?
Speaker 8 (12:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I don't think I write in the air that often
something I'm doing, so what.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
But the next time I do it, I'll try to
take note of.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Cursive or upper upper can see.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
That's on hair writer, that's crazy. What is one short
little tease you can say for audiences for season two?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I know it's hard, it's gayer.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
It is gayer.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
That is what we love to hear.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, and hotter and hotter because of the gayer and
therefore sexier.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, and all the adjectives that go along with those three.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Yes might drop.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Well, thank you so much. If you're keeping up with
the show, then you know the relationship between Charlie and Uri,
a ghost who died in the seventies and has been
haunting the art classroom making pottery ever since. I won't
spoil too much for those who are planning to keep
watching this season, but after the heartbreaking queer love story
(13:18):
they gave us with Charlie in season one, this one
feels so healing. Next, I chatted with Spencer McPherson, Rainbow Widell,
(13:39):
Hiara Piccardo, and Christian Ventura. We get into everything from
what they'd wear if they had to haunt a high
school forever, real life ghost stories, and whether or not
it's a good idea to name your ghostly roommate. And
this is from me. I'm seriously asking, I need advice.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Hi, It's so.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Great to meet you all. Congratulations on season too. How
are you feeling being back?
Speaker 9 (14:03):
Really good, fantastic?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It was it was like no time passive.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, I mean I definitely feel like the you know,
the episodes pick right up and everyone's going to be
so excited to see the new mysteries. I know I'm
talking to not ghosts here, but there's definitely you know,
like when you're in your ghost form in the show,
you have to have your one outfit. So I just
wanted to start off asking, do.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
You know what your one outfit would be if you
were a ghost? What you would want it to be?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Obviously as us from the whole season, like our wardrobes,
I mean, it can be from your your personal wardrobe.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Just like if you were to have one outfit, do
you know what you'd want it to be?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You know, I've always been a huge fan of pockets.
Pockets like a trench coach. Just to have everything tools
flash like.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Stuff to your pockets full of things and you'd have
all that.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
He's you're hungry.
Speaker 12 (15:02):
If you had like a candy bar in a pocket,
would it just always? Would you just have unlimited candy balls? Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:08):
Who are we sponsoring today?
Speaker 12 (15:12):
I love clothes cheerleader outfit. It would be so uncomfortable,
so I wouldn't choose that. But if it was not
uncomfortable to wear, I would wear that. But I think
just like I love her outfit in episode.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Five, but I can't say what it is, but I
love that, Okay, and a little preview for everyone to
be to be looking for.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
What about you, Spencer?
Speaker 13 (15:35):
I would I would want to wear something with a
lot of layers. Like if you've seen the movie The
Sixth Sense, Bruce Willis's character is wearing something different throughout
the whole movie, so it kind of throws you off
the scent a bit because he can you know, he's
in the vest sometimes and then the jacket. So I'd
want a lot of layers.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
She really dropping little clues for your own movie.
Speaker 14 (16:00):
Of New England and I love the fall season. So
there's this outfit that Nicole where's we could see the outfits. Okay,
it's like this gene jumpsuit thing, but it's shorts. And
then she had the black stockings, Doc warns, and it's
like flannel drop jacket.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I was like, this is giving tumblr in the best way.
I love tights with shorts always so good. And you know,
just on the same line of ghosts, do any of
you have a good like ghost story from your personal life, Like,
have you ever had.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
An experience.
Speaker 13 (16:34):
You First, I stayed at an Airbnb in Burbank that
was like haunted and this was right before COVID started,
and like there was just too many coincidences back to
back that were terrifying me and my buddy who I
was staying with. And uh, by the time that Justin
(16:58):
Trudeau came on the news and said, like, you have
to return home, I was like I didn't need any push,
Like I was out that door the second Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, I have more of a supernatural experience than ghost precisely.
But I remember when I was I was a child
in a church and I was with my mom. She
was praying in front of the statue and I was bored,
so I went ahead and try to leave the church.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
It was locked.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All the doors were locked, and so I thought that
I was trapped, and so I started crying and yelling Mom, Mom,
where are you?
Speaker 9 (17:32):
And I couldn't find her empty church.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
A couple of minutes later, when I'm sitting in the
middle of the pew, I see her and I said,
why didn't you hear me screaming? She said there was
no sound at all. It was complete silence. And then
the doors when we left were open and I didn't
see her.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
She didn't see me.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It was like the strangest, weirdest thing ever. Yeah, like,
how do you not hear someone?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I got the way you've told it too, like this
is the new this is season three. Now do you
believe in naming ghosts if you do encounter them? Because
I have a ghost in my apartment. It was named
her Tina, and people have like differing thoughts on if
like you should name them, because you know, she didn't
tell me that was her name.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I just felt it. I like that, you know, like
does it make it better or worse?
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Better?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Right, Like then I feel like we're more friends, but.
Speaker 13 (18:24):
Maybe she doesn't want me and my older I used
to live with my sister and there was like an
entity that we felt was in our apartment and she
named it Billy and Billy. Now that name scares.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
Me kind of back, yeah, but it was meant to
be affectionate.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (18:42):
I don't like the thought of like being like friends
with ghosts like me personally, It just it scares me
rather to stay with.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
The real people.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
See, I was going to ask, like, so, do you
think that if you had a ghost encounter, would you
be as chill as like Simon was in season one
where he's just like, oh, I just see my friend.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
It's fine, you know, Like I mean, yeah, there's a
level to like coming to terms with that. But like,
how do you think you would personally re.
Speaker 14 (19:06):
I mean, I believe in that stuff, So I feel
like I would be scared. But would I run out
the house.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
No?
Speaker 14 (19:12):
But would I be like yeah, like a little shock effect.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Yeah, okay, okay, how about any of you?
Speaker 6 (19:20):
How do you think you'd react?
Speaker 11 (19:22):
I would also have a shock reaction.
Speaker 12 (19:25):
But I think I would like it if they were
like a nice ghost and they were they were.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Like keeping me company.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
If it's always having a friend there, it could be fine.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Drinking wine.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
It can be a bonding experience, bond they're always there.
I mean, you know it.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I think it differs for every experience, obviously, And I
wanted to ask each of you from season one. Obviously
there's a mystery that's going on and we don't always
know what's happening. Did you have an aha moment something
just really surprised you during filming or after when you were.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Watching it in season one?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
You said, yeah, season one. Because you can't give spoilers, Well.
Speaker 14 (20:08):
The ending for me, like jumping into her body. I
didn't see that coming at all, because they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They don't.
Speaker 14 (20:15):
They didn't give us the scripts beforehand. So we got
the scripts like a week before we shot, okay, and
so when we found that out and when we had our.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Table where we were like wait what, Yeah, We're all.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Like every time I watched the first episode of the
second season, I pause on Janet's face when she's about
to run to Maddie because her reaction to take Peydon
is so instantaneous that I'm thinking, what is in her adrenaline?
(20:45):
What spikes her to not even think it's just person
take that? That's like I want to.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
Know about it.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
You're like trying to mind read.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah, just try because yeah, absolutely anyone else.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
I think that the scene the finale of season one
where Simon realizes, at least to his knowledge, that he
is perhaps like imagining all of this in his head
was such a massive moment for me. Reading it and
watching the way Christian brought that to life was just
like so sad and so like it totally makes sense,
(21:22):
like this show could end there and it could just
be like, oh yeah, he was just imagining the yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, and the pain that you see in both of
them and is intense.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Absolutely, I'm glad that it.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Didn't end there and there is a thing right too,
because that would be heartbroken, but I agree like it
would be it would be really powerful for sure.
Speaker 11 (21:44):
Absolutely, And Okay, so.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Going into the to the mysteries, I saw that in
season one, Milo had like a vision board to solve it.
So do any of you do something similar? Did you
get together for season two and try to guess what
was going to happen or you just letting it flow?
Speaker 11 (22:02):
Yeah, we definitely had some theories.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
We didn't do it as much as season one.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
I think, yeah, we don't have a vision goal.
Speaker 13 (22:08):
I think we were just going for the I guess
one thing, correct, I remember, and I was right.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
I was paying Oh wait.
Speaker 13 (22:17):
Tell it?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Did you write it down to your like evidence thought?
Speaker 9 (22:21):
I said it to a couple of Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
You're like I called this first, No one can doubt me. Well,
I'm excited to see what that is about. Do you
have any advice for solving a mystery.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oide the box?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Yeah, yeah, good question, because you.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Are all like, really the detectives here because the next
act to go talk to the ghosts, and they're not
I mean, they're trying to solve it.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
But I would say, for example, if you're, say a Christian,
I want you to investigate this.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Who did it?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I would rule out some people in my life because
I know they wouldn't. Those are the people to go to,
the people that are unsuspecting. You give them too much credit.
We'd be really surprised what people would do if like
you were, for example, Janet. So yeah, don't rule out
your first rule outs.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
Don't trust anyone.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
I don't think I would have any skills to bring
to the table with investigating.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
I always wanted to be a detective as a kid,
but I think i'd be shite. That makes sense, Like
I think I would just not be good at all.
Speaker 9 (23:27):
No, I think he's really Yeah, he's really great at that.
Speaker 14 (23:32):
Okay, you would have been a great detective.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
He's actually an undercover detect his persona right now.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
I would actually be bad.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
That's what a good detective would say.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Oh, I wish I was.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Especially after he admitted to guessing the entire place.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Really, I've been caught.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I mean, I know we can't say spoilers, but is
there one thing that you're looking forward to, like the
audience reacting to with season two?
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Just what people can.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Expect Episode five guys, Yeah, we teased it earlier.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
That is, yeah, my favorite episode. I think that's gonna
be a lot of people's favorite episodes.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
I can't say anything, but I would say the different
dynamics and like seeing how how they grow.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah, yeah, No, I mean I did want to touch
on that real quick, just because I feel like Claire
and Nicole their dynamic is interesting, and I just wanted
to ask you both kind of like what's going on
with that?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
What can we say? What is?
Speaker 12 (24:35):
No, they don't they definitely don't start off as friends,
and so they their journeys is definitely an interesting one.
But they're both very strong personalities, they're both very they
don't deal with bs, they're very they don't sugarcoat anything,
(24:55):
they're very Yeah, and so I think that they both
would they have like mutual respect towards each other with that,
and that's where like the most genuine friendships come out
of honesty.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
And yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 14 (25:09):
I feel like we were pulled into a circumstance that
we probably didn't plan, but we were kind of forced
to work together, and in that it sort of created
a more vulnerable relationship between Nicole and Clear, and it's
just nice seeing that blossom as the season continues.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Do you think people are shipping them online?
Speaker 9 (25:30):
I think eventually they will.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I don't know if they were before season one.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
I think I know in season one, I think they
could tell that we didn't like each other.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
I read that enemies celeveries is the best enemies.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
Yeah, you know, I think I think they'll like us
this season. Like our friendship. I think they'll ship it or.
Speaker 15 (25:51):
Yeah, clinical, I think we need to workshop it.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Thank you all so much. Congratulations on the new season.
Speaker 11 (26:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
