Disney Plus will soon be getting a bit scarier (but not too scary), as a new series based on R.L. Stine's kids horror series has officially been picked up by the streamer.
As reported by Variety, the new series will following five high schoolers trying to save their own from a host of supernatural creatures. It sounds like it won't be an anthology series this time around, putting it more in line with the feature films than the original Nickelodeon television show, which ran from 1996 to 1998.
That can likely be explained by the involvement of Neal Moritz, who served as a producer on the two movies. Rob Letterman, who directed the first movie, will serve as a writer and executive producer.
The Goosebumps live-action series was first revealed back in 2020. Announced as a collaboration between Sony Pictures and Scholastic Entertainment, it now has a home. In the meantime, if you haven't seen the first Goosebumps movie starring Jack Black, it's "perfect Halloween season fun" according to IGN's review.
Disney Plus has not announced a release date for the new Goosebumps television series.
