There's been so much happening in School Spirits season 3 that I've hardly had time to think.

Kyle's (Ari Dalbert) spirit remains safe in the ghost world after the shooting, but the same cannot be said for Van Heidt (Michael Adamthwaite). Not only that, but we also finally know the identity of White Eyes, which could come to a chaotic head next week... and don't even get me started on poor Simon (Kristian Ventura).

'I think the show's going to run... I hope it does'

"I'll say that the cliffhanger is gonna have everyone just breaking their phones," Ventura teases about upcoming season 3 episode 8. "But of course there's room for more ghosts and chaos.

"These writers are amazing. You can feel where the story is going. We've just about explored what we wanted to, and there's only so many untapped regions. I really don't feel this is a show that will waste the viewers experience.

"There is definitely a little bit more to tap into. And cliffhanger is great. I think the show's gonna run, and I hope it does," he added.

It's rare to see so much confident positivity from somebody waiting to see if a show is renewed, particularly in interviews. Usually, actors and crew politely reply that they hope whatever they're working on will return for more, but this reaction feels much more charged.

If School Spirits season 4 does go ahead, I have a feeling it will be the final one. There will likely be some loose threads left over from the season 3 finale, but not enough storytelling to warrant a broad future. Here's hoping I'm right.
