Goosebumps: The Vanishing premieres on Disney+ in early 2024

In the United States, the second season of the rebooted Goosebumps TV series is set to premiere early next year on Disney+ and Hulu. Titled The Vanishing, this new season introduces all new characters while drawing inspiration from several popular books in the Goosebumps series. The show is being developed by Nicholas Stoller, Rob Letterman, and showrunner Hilary Winston, aiming to modernize the narrative and take it in a more mature direction. The storyline follows twins Cece and Devin Brewer, who are sent to spend their summer in Gravesend, Brooklyn, with their divorced father. The series promises to explore real-life problems faced by the characters, adding depth to the horror elements. David Schwimmer stars as Anthony Brewer, a former botany professor, hinting at connections to earlier Goosebumps stories, particularly the 1992 book Stay Out of the Basement. The new season will incorporate elements from various Goosebumps titles, including The Haunted Car and Welcome to Camp Nightmare, which are expected to play significant roles in the plot. This approach not only pays homage to the original series but also aims to engage a new generation of viewers with familiar yet fresh content. As fans eagerly await the release, the anticipation builds around how the series will balance its horror roots with contemporary themes, making it a highly anticipated addition to the streaming platforms.
