Disney has announced details on the upcoming season season of the hit series, “Goosebumps”, which is going to be called “Goosebumps: The Vanishing.”

The upcoming season season tells the story of twins Cece and Devin Brewer, who are sent to spend a summer in Gravesend, Brooklyn, with their divorced dad. A threat is stirring, and they quickly realize that dark secrets are among them, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, Cece, Devin and their friends — Alex, CJ and Frankie — find themselves entangled in the chilling tale of four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.

Some new artwork for the show has been revealed, along with a small teaser video, featuring a first look at Emmy Award nominee David Schwimmer as Anthony Brewer, a former botany professor who has immersed himself in science and mystery.

In addition to Schwimmer, the series stars Ana Ortiz as Jen, Jayden Bartels as Cece, Sam McCarthy as Devin, Elijah M. Cooper as CJ, Galilea La Salvia as Frankie, Francesca Noel as Alex, and Stony Blyden as Trey.

The announcement was made in celebration of  R.L. Stine’s birthday, who is the creator of one of the bestselling book series of all time. The new season draws on elements from some of the most popular books, including “Stay Out of the Basement, “The Haunted Car,” “Monster Blood,” “The Girl Who Cried Monster,” “The Ghost Next Door,” “Welcome to Camp Nightmare” and more.

Check out the teaser video below:

Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Nicholas Stoller and Rob Letterman developed “Goosebumps: The Vanishing,” along with showrunner Hilary Winston. All three serve as executive producers alongside Neal H. Moritz, Scholastic Entertainment’s Iole Lucchese and Caitlin Friedman, Pavun Shetty, Conor Welch, Erin O’Malley, Karl Frankenfield and James Eagan.

The new season of the thrilling anthology series will premiere all eight episodes on Friday, January 10th, 2025, across Disney+ and Hulu.

Roger’s Take:  The first season was a huge success with a dual release on both Hulu and Disney+, so I’m not surprised they are doing it again, though I’m surprised this series didn’t debut during October for the Halloween season.  I also can’t help but think this teaser trailer looks like something you’d expect from a “Venom” movie! 

The first season of “Goosebumps” is also available to stream now on Hulu and Disney+.
