A brand new live-action “Goosebumps” series based on R.L. Stine’s bestselling books is in the works for the small screen, reports Deadline. The original series, produced out of Canada, aired on Fox Kids 25 years ago.
Scholastic Entertainment, the media division of Scholastic, is teaming with Neal H. Moritz, producer of the Goosebumps and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween films, and Sony Pictures TV, where Moritz’s Original Film is under a deal, to develop the series.
There are no details as to the plans for the new series although Moritz promises “a high-end television series that speaks to both adults and kids alike.”
The site also details the history of “Goosebumps”: “Published by Scholastic, ‘Goosebumps’ is one of the best-selling book series of all time, with more than 350 million English-language books in print, plus international editions in 32 languages. The original hit live-action ‘Goosebumps’ TV series was rated #1 for five consecutive seasons in the 1990s. The series was an anthology of stories about children finding themselves in creepy and unusual situations, typically involving supernatural elements. The property also spawned two hugely-successful motion pictures starring Jack Black, released in 2015 and 2018, which Moritz produced and which together grossed more than $250 million.”
