It\u2019s very different, I would say, than something like Game of Thrones or Star Wars, because we\u2019re just not like that.<\/p>\n<p>  School Spirits <\/p>\n<p>Finally, Paramount+ has released a new trailer for the third season of School Spirits premiering this January 28.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
