‘School Spirits’ is bringing back some familiar favorites for Season 4 — including Jennifer Tilly

Jennifer Tilly is heading back to the halls of Split River High. The 'Chucky' star has confirmed that she will reprise her role as Deborah Hunter-Price in 'School Spirits' Season 4, bringing the mysterious school superintendent back into the Paramount+ supernatural drama. Her return comes alongside another major casting update: Milo Manheim will also reprise his role as Wally Clark.

Manheim’s involvement had been a question among viewers because of his commitment to Disney’s live-action 'Tangled', in which he plays Flynn Rider. His return will be welcome news for fans, although his exact episode count in the new season has not been revealed. Maria Dizzia, who has played Sandra Nears since the first season, has also been promoted to series regular for Season 4.

The new season is also expanding its cast with four guest performers. Christian Weissmann will play Emmett, a paranormal vlogger and amateur inventor who claims to have developed useful technology for ghosts. Although he comes across as charming and kind, his unusual methods leave questions about whether he can be trusted.

Clara Alexandrova joins as Izzy, a rebellious student from a nearby high school who works at the local record store. Katharine Isabelle will portray Tonya Terravina, a mysterious figure connected to Split River’s past. Described as resourceful and fiercely independent, Tonya is expected to offer a different perspective on the show's supernatural world. Meanwhile, Briana Buckmaster will appear as Alex Grey, a determined reporter convinced that the town is hiding something significant.

Currently in production in Canada, the fourth season continues the story of teenage ghosts haunting a Wisconsin high school. Peyton List leads the series as Maddie Nears, alongside Kristian Ventura, Spencer MacPherson, Kiara Pichardo, Sarah Yarkin, Nick Pugliese, Rainbow Wedell, Josh Zuckerman, Ci Hang Ma and Miles Elliot.

Created by Nate and Megan Trinrud, 'School Spirits' is produced by Paramount Television Studios. The creators continue as co-showrunners and executive producers, with List also serving as an executive producer. Paramount+ has not announced a premiere date for Season 4.
