New Goosebumps Live-Action TV Series in Development

Goosebumps is returning to television. Scholastic Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television announced Tuesday that they are collaborating on a new live-action series to be produced by Original Film's Neal H. Mortiz, who produced the two recent feature films. Goosebumps was previously produced as a horror anthology television series in the 1990s. The franchise, based on the bestselling book series by author R.L. Stine, later made the leap to the big screen with a pair of films featuring Jack Black as a fictionalized version of Stine.

L. Stine’s incredible stories to life through a high-end television series that speaks to both adults and kids alike,” Moritz said in a statement. No word yet on when production will begin.

We were less enamored with its 2018 sequel, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, which we deemed "in far too much of a hurry – and perhaps too eager to be widely accessible – to be actually scary or wholly effective." Deadline first broke the news of the new series.
