Goosebumps: The Future of the Nostalgic Young Adult Horror Series
Disney+ has decided to cancel the nostalgic young adult horror series Goosebumps after just two seasons. The series, inspired by the iconic spooky novels by RL Stine, featured different stories and new stars in each season. Despite pulling in 75 million viewing hours in the US alone, the streamer has announced that it will not be continuing the franchise. Production studio Sony Pictures Television is looking to shop the series around to other platforms for potential opportunities.
Fans of the latest iteration of Goosebumps have expressed disappointment over the cancellation. Many have criticized the decision to release season two with less marketing in January, which they believe affected its audience growth. Some fans have called for a potential third season or reboot that follows the anthology format of the '90s series, with a new story and cast in each episode.
Despite the mixed reactions, there are still passionate fans of the show who have praised the reimagining of Goosebumps. Some viewers have expressed hope that the series could find a new home on another streaming service. With positive reviews from fans who appreciate the nostalgic journey the show provides, there is a possibility that Goosebumps could make a comeback on a different platform.
As Goosebumps fans await news of the series' future, they can currently stream the show on Disney+.
