School Spirits is back for a highly anticipated Season 2 on Paramount+, and its supernatural high-school drama is more intense than ever. The show’s growing fanbase is buzzing about the darker, spookier tone this season, and composer Anna Waronker’s propulsive score is at the heart of that excitement. Her music blends raw, organic instruments with edgy distortion to create an eerie yet emotional soundscape that brings the ghostly halls of Split River High to life. Waronker’s use of her own vocals as an instrument adds an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality to the score, seamlessly weaving melody and atmosphere. From adrenaline-pumping suspense cues to heartfelt harmonic textures, Waronker’s music intensifies every twist in this afterlife mystery, turning key scenes into unforgettable moments. School Spirits’ rise in popularity comes with a soundtrack that’s truly become a character of its own – intensifying the drama and drawing fans deeper into the story. Take a listen to the Season 1 & Season 2 soundtrack below!
Anna Waronker says,
“I love working on the score for School Spirits because every character has their own identity, and as their stories progress, so does each of their respective themes. Weaving these themes in and out of each other is also one of my favorite parts about working on School Spirits. Like the characters, the different elements of score really complement one another. I love when I get to write a theme song for a show! The creative team behind School Spirits is a dream to work with. They want to push emotional and musical limits and encourage individuality all around.”
