SEASON two of American supernatural horror television series Goosebumps releases tomorrow on Disney+.
Based on the children’s namesake horror books by author R L Stine, Goosebumps: The Vanishing is set to follow different stories with different characters in each season, and mainly tackles adventures of teenagers or pre-teens who find themselves in frightening and supernatural circumstances.
The latest season of the anthology series follows teenage siblings Devin (Sam McCarthy) and Cece (Jayden Bartels) who discover a threat in their home that triggers a chain of events that unravels a profound mystery, resulting in the duo finding themselves entangled in the story of five teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.
This season will also feature the Friends series star David Schwimmer, who will portray the siblings’ single father.
“I’ve always been a fan of horror, a genuine fan. I love scary movies, I love being scared at the movie theatre or at home,” David said in an interview.
“So, I was just really excited, because the combination of horror, action and comedy is the sweet spot for me. I’ve always wanted to do it, and I thought this was going to be just a blast and it was,” he added.
The Goosebumps book series was published throughout 1992 until 1997 and consists of 62 titles.
The Disney+ show is the second TV adaptation of the written works, with the first one, which consisted of four seasons, aired between 1995 and 1998.
