February 14 Will Be a Great Day for Bridgerton Fans
Bridgerton fans have a whole new “Season of Love” to look forward to ahead of the release of the series’ upcoming fourth season.
Fans of the series are currently awaiting not just the release of the second season of School Spirits, but also the graphic novel that the series is, at least in theory, based on. As School Spirits co-creator Megan Trinrud previously explained, “The whole process was all very backwards. It initially started as a plan for a TV show, but during the pandemic we met with a literary agent who told us he thought it would make a great graphic novel. We started pitching it as a graphic novel to publishers and ended up getting a book deal with Harper Collins Publishing. While we were working on the book, the studio AwesomenessTV became interested in the project and wanted to make it into a TV show. It went from TV to book and back to TV.” The School Spirits graphic novel is currently slated to release on September 9.
School Spirits is currently available for streaming on Paramount+. Season 2 premieres on January 30.
