Disney+ has ordered more Goosebumps.
The Sony Pictures Television series will unveil a new eight-episode season based on the books by R.L. Stine, and featuring a brand new cast, story and setting.
The news came from Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television during the 2024 Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena.
In Season 2, teenage siblings discover a threat within their home, setting off a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, the duo find themselves entangled in the story of five teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.
The Season One premiere of Goosebumps drove 4.2 million total views globally in its first three days, according to the streamer, making the renewal decision a shoo-in.
“Audiences everywhere fell in love with the series’ chills, thrills, heart and humor, making it one of Disney Branded Television’s most-watched shows of last year,” said Davis.
“We can’t wait to dive deeper into the brilliant mind of R.L. Stine, and to collaborate once again with Sony Pictures Television, Scholastic Entertainment, and our fantastic creative team to bring an entirely new mystery to Disney+ for season two.”
“We are incredibly proud of the work of our writers, producers, cast and crew and the vision they brought to season one, which a new generation of fans are loving alongside those who grew up in R.L. Stine’s iconic world,” added Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios.
Goosebumps is one of the bestselling book series of all time, with more than 400 million books in print in 32 languages.
