Goosebumps from 2015 film

Were you a fan of the old Goosebumps books and TV series? If so, we have some really exciting news to share with you. Disney+ is going to have a brand new live-action series!

Keep reading to find out more about it and when you can catch the latest episodes.

Fans gear up to watch Goosebumps when it comes to Disney+

Comicbook confirms Disney+ ordered 10 episodes of the new Goosebumps series. The series was first announced back in 2020. But it seems like it’ll come to the platform very soon.

Goosebumps has been keeping kids and families on the edge of their seats for nearly 30 years and we’re very excited to partner with Sony Pictures Television and Neal H. Moritz to bring the enduring brand to life in a fresh new way for today’s generation,” a representative said at the time. “From the world-famous book series to a full-scale licensing program and even live-action movies starring Jack Black, Goosebumps remains wildly popular and we look forward to presenting new adventures to give fans even more Goosebumps.”

However, Comicbook went on to say that Goosebumps creator R.L. Stine didn’t seem to know much about the new series when they interviewed him.

“With Goosebumps now going to Disney+, it’s unclear whether Stine will be granted the same access and involvement that he had with Universal’s movie adaptations,” the publication writes. “Goosebumps was also adapted into a popular YA TV series in the 1990s, which approached the books as standalone anthology stories.”

Will you be watching the new series? Be sure to let us know what you think about it in the comments!

But you will have to wait a while before the new episodes show up on Disney+

Unfortunately, we still don’t have any sort of airdate for the new series. All the news outlets seem to indicate that Disney+ just gained the rights to the new series. So it seems to be pretty early in the production stages. It could be anywhere from 2023 to even 2024 before we actually see new Goosebumps episodes.

This does seem like a long wait, but in the meantime, you can still read all the books and even watch the 2015 movie.

Which adaptation of the series has been your favorite so far? There are so many different ones to choose from it’s really hard to say. But most of us can agree that anything with a talking dummy is pretty nightmare-inducing.
