It doesn't happen often, but the Netflix library has received a new series produced for Paramount+. Released in March this year, the supernatural teen drama School Spirits is now available on the service, and in just a few days it has managed to become one of the most-watched series on Netflix.

And now that many of us have binge-watched the show, we can't wait for the second season. No word yet on whether it will be released on Netflix or just Paramount+, but in the meantime, we recommend revisiting the former's library. Whether you are an avid fan of teen dramas or just looking for something similar to School Spirits, the series we are going to talk about today will definitely not leave you bored.

7. Ares (2020, 1 season)

IMDb rating: 5.7/10

It seems that behind the scenes of every educational institution there are terrible secrets related to both the supernatural and secret societies! Our list begins with a Dutch horror drama series that centers on Amsterdam college freshman Rosa, who follows a friend into an elite secret student society called Ares, which is clearly influenced by Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

6. Boo, Bitch (2022, miniseries)

IMDb rating: 5.9/10

The plot follows two best friends, Erica and Gia, as they do their best to gain some popularity and get the attention of their crushes in the final weeks before high school graduation. But after a raucous party where they finally live their lives to the fullest, a hungover morning brings the terrible truth — Erica has died and is now a ghost.

5. Riverdale ( 2017, 7 seasons)

IMDb rating: 6.5/10

Yes, folks, we just couldn't pass this show up. As wild as Riverdale is, it has all the elements we loved about School Spirits. Murder mystery in a small town? Check. High school kids investigating the supernatural? Check. Ghosts? Also check!

4. First Kill (2022, 1 season)

IMDb rating: 6.5/10

Many have praised School Spirits for its lack of excessive melodrama, but if that's what you've been missing, a great option to watch is First Kill, which has the same corny but fun atmosphere of 00s teen dramas. First Kill is a love story between two high school girls, except one is a vampire and the other comes from a family of vampire hunters.

3. Cruel Summer (2021, 2 seasons)

IMDb rating: 7.4/10

School Spirits shines not only as a supernatural drama, but also as a great Twin Peaks-style murder mystery set in a remote small town. Cruel Summer is an anthology, and the second season in particular stands out, following teenagers in the fictional town of Chatham, Washington, one of whom is murdered as a result of certain events.

2. 13 Reasons Why (2017, 4 seasons)

IMDb rating: 7.5/10

In addition to Riverdale, we simply had to mention 13 Reasons Why. Yes, the quality of the seasons varies greatly, and the tone of the show itself is not at all light, dealing with issues of bullying, oppression, rape, and addiction among teens, but it is no less built on the mutual aid of high school students.

1. Julie and the Phantoms (2020, 1 season)

IMDb rating: 8.4/10

Julie and the Phantoms follows a teenager with immense musical talent who is grieving the loss of her mother. However, her passion for music and the power to let go of her mother are aided by the accidental summoning of the ghosts of high school students who died 25 years ago, with whom Julie decides to form a band.
