#Goosebumps Heads Back To TV With A New Live-Action Series At Disney+

Stine has often been likened to the “Stephen King of children’s literature.” There are now over 200 “Goosebumps” books and 400 million copies of them in print, and the series has also been translated into over 30 different languages. The “Fear Street” books were geared toward teenagers and the “Goosebumps” books were geared more toward children, so it made sense for “Fear Street” to land on Netflix as a series of teen slasher films, while “Goosebumps” is finding its home on the more kid-friendly platform of Disney+.

Scholastic, the publisher behind all of the “Goosebumps” books, is also behind this upcoming Disney+ series. Iole Lucchese and Caitlin Friedman of Scholastic Entertainment will executive produce the show with Mortiz, Letterman, Stoller, Pavun Shetty, and Conor Welch.

The “Goosebumps” reboot will be a production of Sony Pictures Television Studios. Sony has not announced any casting details or a release date yet, but watch this space and we’ll have more information on that as it becomes available.
