The new releases this weekend are indie with Honey, Don’t!, Relay and Eden flanked by Splitsville, Lurker and Pools in limited release and set to to expand in coming weeks. Neon’s Cannes-premiering Splitsville had the highest PSA of the weekend. Utopia’s Pools filled the Music Box’s 700-seat main auditorium on Friday. Lurker from Mubi, the best reviewed opening of the weekend, had sold out evening screenings and strong word of mouth.

Relationship comedy Splitsville is eyeing a nice $105.6k limited opening at five theaters in New York and LA for a per screen average of $21k. It’s directed by Michael Angelo Covino from a screenplay he co-wrote with Kyle Marvin. The duo behind The Climb (2019) also star with Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona.

Disney+ has officially canceled the horror anthology Goosebumps after two seasons, with the Season 2 finale now serving as its series finale, according to Decider and Variety.

Series Performance Snapshot Debut: The series premiered in October 2023 on Disney+ and Hulu with a serialized format inspired by R.L. Stine’s beloved books. Second Season: Titled Goosebumps: The Vanishing, it launched in January 2025. Viewer Engagement: The combined total across both seasons amassed approximately 75 million viewing hours in the U.S., with an additional 43 million hours across 16 international markets.

The show’s format evolved between seasons—Season 1 delivered ten episodes released weekly, while Season 2 offered eight episodes dropped all at once. Across both seasons, Goosebumps pulled in strong numbers, amassing approximately 75 million hours viewed in the United States and 43 million hours in 16 international markets.

"Free is happy." "It's so unclear." Utopia has debuted the trailer for an indie film titled Pools, opening in select theaters later in August coming soon. The film premiered last year at a few festivals including SXSW Sydney. Pools is a coming-of-age indie comedy made by filmmaker Sam Hayes originally from Chicago. He says: "The original title of Pools was Pools at Night. And that image speaks very simply to what first drew me to the premise of this movie – the magic of a glowing blue pool at night... [It's] very much inspired by the movies John Hughes made in this same area in the 80s—Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club—some of my favorites ever. I wanted to make a movie like that, but about pool-hopping, which I find so quintessentially coming-of-age." Starring Odessa A'zion (aka Odessa Adlon), Mason Gooding, Ariel Winter, Tyler Alvarez, Francesca Noel, Michael Vlamis,...

Despite a strong Season 2 premiere, Disney+’s teen horror anthology series, Goosebumps, won’t be getting a third season. Goosebumps: The Vanishing premiered in January 2025 and, upon its debut, was in the top 10 on both Disney+ and Hulu.

Per Variety, Disney+ has canceled Goosebumps, but there may still be hope for the horror series based on R.L. Stine’s book series. The show, which originally debuted in October 2023, featured a 10-episode first season. Its second season, airing in January 2025, consisted of eight episodes and an entirely new cast and story.

The outlet reports that an individual with close knowledge of the show’s situation believes that Sony Pictures Television, which produces Goosebumps, plans to shop the show around to other streamers and possibly explore “different creative directions for the IP.”

In two seasons, Goosebumps brought in 75 million hours viewed in the U.S. as well as an additional 43 hours viewed in 16 worldwide markets.

Nobody likes cancellations. The word itself will make your skin crawl. But sadly, this is what we're currently faced with. In 2025, Disney+ has renewed more shows than it has canceled. In fact, the only show the streaming giant has axed was the highly anticipated Tiana series. Well, that's until now. Unfortunately, Disney+ has just given the boot to the acclaimed horror anthology Goosebumps after two thrilling seasons.

This news is a huge disappointment to fans who had hoped the spooky adaptation of R.L. Stine’s beloved books would continue to deliver chills and eerie tales. But for us, we saw it coming. The signs were there. Although both seasons 1 and 2 were received well by critics and viewers alike, it's been almost seven months since the second season's release and there’s been an unmistakable silence.

Disney+ hadn't said...

Disney+ is no longer feeling Goosebumps.

The streamer has canceled its Goosebumps series, based on the enduringly popular books by R.L. Stine, after two seasons. The most recent season, subtitled The Vanishing, premiered in January.

Sony Pictures TV, which owns the rights to Stine’s books and produced the series, will shop Goosebumps to other outlets and also look for other creative directions for the property. There are more than 200 stories in Stine’s original Goosebumps books, spinoff series and short story collections.

Goosebumps on Disney+ was an anthology series. The first season premiered on Disney+ in October 2023 — a few weeks before Halloween — and performed solidly, ranking among Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming series for four weeks. Season two debuted in January and didn’t do as well, never making the Nielsen charts.

To date, sources say, viewers have watched 118 million hours of Goosebumps worldwide — 75 million in the United States and 43 million in 16 international markets.

There will be no third season for Goosebumps at Disney+. Sources confirm to Deadline that the horror anthology based on the R.L. Stine book series has been canceled after two seasons.

A source close to the situation says producer Sony Pictures Television plans to shop the series to other outlets and explore a few different creative directions for the IP.

The series has done well ratings-wise. Seasons one and two combined have racked up 43 million hours watched across 16 international markets, alongside 75 million hours viewed domestically in the U.S. since their debut.

From Disney Branded Television and produced by Sony Pictures Television, the series was based upon R.L Stine’s bestselling Scholastic series. Each season featured a new story, setting and cast. Season 2 followed teenage siblings who discover a threat stirring, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, the duo find...

The thrills and chills of Goosebumps have officially come to an end: Disney+ has cancelled the horror anthology series after just two seasons, TVLine has confirmed.

Its latest season (subtitled The Vanishing) followed the young siblings of a botany professor (Friends’ David Schwimmer) who “discover a threat stirring, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, the duo finds themselves entangled in the chilling tale of four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.”

“Goosebumps” is not returning for a third season at Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively.

The horror anthology based on the R.L. Stine book series originally debuted on Disney+ in October 2023, with the second season premiering in January 2025. Season 1 was 10 episodes and released weekly, while Season 2 was eight episodes and dropped all at once.

According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, series producer Sony Pictures Television plans to shop the show to other outlets and explore different creative directions for the IP.

The two seasons pulled in 75 million hours viewed combined in the U.S., on top of 43 million hours viewed across 16 international markets.

Each season featured references to and storylines from multiple entries in Stine’s books. In Season 1, a group of five high schoolers are pulled into a dark mystery surrounding a teen named Harold Biddle who died decades earlier. In Season 2, a pair of fraternal twins...

Exclusive: Utopia’s arthouse distribution label, Circle Collective, has acquired U.S. rights to Pools, a coming-of-age film, starring Odessa A’zion (A24’s upcoming Marty Supreme), which marks the feature debut of writer-director Sam Hayes.

After taking home the Audience Award in its world premiere at SXSW Sydney 2024, and going on to sell out its North American premiere at TIFF Next Wave, the film has been set to open at the Music Box in Chicago on August 22, followed by the Quad Cinema in New York and the NuArt in Los Angeles on August 29. A nationwide expansion will follow on September 5.

Hulu started the year right because one of its recent additions is already a hit. On Jan. 10, Hulu released the second season of the supernatural horror series Goosebumps, which is already a huge hit on the streaming platform.

Goosebumps: The Vanishing premiered over a year after the first installment, Goosebumps, which was released on Disney+ and Hulu simultaneously in Oct. 2023. The series follows a serialized anthology style, changing the characters and story for Season 2. Per FlixPatrol, Goosebumps: The Vanishing is a major success on both Disney+ and Hulu, entering the Top 10 charts on both streaming services.

Plot: Begins with fraternal twins Devin and Cece adjusting to life with their recently divorced dad, Anthony. When the duo discovers a threat stirring, they quickly realize that dark secrets are among them, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery.

Review: Growing up, I was slightly too old to enjoy Goosebumps. While I was graduating from Christopher Pike novels and R.L. Stine’s Fear Street series to the more mature novels of Stephen King, tons of kids entered the gateway horror of Stine’s fun brand of scary stories to tell in the dark. The anthology series was a hit with kids looking for a good scare, and the big-screen films starring Jack Black amped up the comedy for a big-budget adventure. Disney+ and Hulu’s reboot of the franchise was a successful, scary take on the source material back in 2023, and this year’s sophomore entry is equally good.

While the horror genre continues to evolve onscreen, the stories of R.L. Stine are spooking audiences of a whole new generation.

In Sony Pictures Television‘s Goosebumps: The Vanishing, Season 2 of the Disney+ anthology adaptation from Rob Letterman and Nicholas Stoller, the author’s works come to life onscreen once again in a whole new setting, the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn.

“I’m shocked by it,” Stine told Deadline. “I have a superstition. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, in a suburb, so most of the Goosebumps books take place in the backyard, a suburban backyard, which I think most kids can identify with.”

Still, the beloved children’s book scribe says the new season of Goosebumps “looks nice” after filming in Brooklyn and Queens.

Largely inspired by Stay Out of the Basement (1992), Stine’s second entry in the Goosebumps series, The Vanishing follows twins Devin (Sam McCarthy) and Cece...

Rob Letterman and Hilary Winston are taking their R.L. Stine-based hit show in a new direction with Goosebumps: The Vanishing. Letterman, whose history with the franchise goes back to directing the 2015 Jack Black-led movie adaptation of the horror novels, co-developed the show with Nicholas Stoller, whose filmography ranges from helming the fan-favorite comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall to co-creating and directing the acclaimed Apple TV+ comedy show Platonic. Winston, whose producorial career took off with My Name is Earl, was a co-showrunner with Letterman and Stoller on season 1 and is now sole showrunner on the new season.

Goosebumps: The Vanishing shifts the focus away from the season 1 finale and to New York City, putting its focus on botanist and single father Anthony as his twin teen children come to stay with him for the summer. Anthony, having been focused on discovering the answers to his brother's disappearance when they were teenagers,...

In 2023, Disney+ resurrected R.L. Stine's children's horror anthology classic, Goosebumps, for streaming audiences. Nodding both to the franchise's past such as demonic dummies, supernatural scares and young leads and updating elements for modern tastes — namely intergenerational horror, ensemble casts and a single-season story loaded with lore and intrigue — the 2023 Goosebumps reboot proved to be a sleeper hit. Over a year later, the series has returned with a second season, along with a new story and cast of characters.

Goosebumps: The Vanishing follows a dysfunctional family – warring twins Devin (Sam McCarthy) and CeCe (Jayden Bartels) and their estranged father, Anthony (David Schwimmer) – and the citizens of Brooklyn, including Anthony's friend and police detective Jen (Ana Ortiz) and Jen's rebellious teen daughter Alex (Francesca Noel), find themselves entangled in the long-buried mystery of Anthony's brother's disappearance thirty years ago.

This scene, which takes us back to 1994 Brooklyn and has Beastie Boys on the soundtrack, can be viewed in the embed above.

The first season of Goosebumps centered on a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past. The show is taking the anthology route, so we can expect a second season that has “an entirely new cast and setting based on R.L. Stine’s iconic Scholastic book series.” Season 2 will also consist of eight episodes,...

Francesca Noel and Ana Ortiz are a mother and daughter who must reckon with the resurgence of a secret from the former's past in Goosebumps: The Vanishing. The latest season of the Disney+ adaptation of R.L.

This time around, as if the start of a new and uncertain year wasn’t spooky enough, the second season of the serialized anthology series based on the works of R.L. Stine will be known as “Goosebumps: The Vanishing.”

The next installment follows siblings Cece and Devin Brewer as they head to Gravesend, Brooklyn to spend the summer with their dad (played by the legendary David Schwimmer).

Ahead of the season premiere, Daily...

A new group of teens find themselves wrapped up in a new horrifying mystery in Goosebumps: The Vanishing. The Disney+ show serves as an adaptation of R.L. Stine's iconic children's horror novels of the same name, with the first season centering on a group of teens in a fictional small town of Washington who inadvertently unleash an evil force connected to the death of a teen from 30 years prior. The Vanishing is taking an anthology approach to the show, focusing on a new set of characters in New York and their investigation into the disappearance of a teen from 30 years prior.

Among the Goosebumps: The Vanishing's roster of characters is American Born Chinese alum Stony Blyden as Trey, the jock of the group who proves antagonistic to main characters, Devin and Cece, after the former begins bonding with his girlfriend, Frankie. The latter, a creative free spirit, is played by Galilea La Salvia,...

Sam McCarthy and Jayden Bartels are twin siblings whose summer with their dad turns into a nightmare in Goosebumps: The Vanishing. After having supporting roles in everything from the acclaimed coming-of-age drama All These Small Moments to Audience/Epix's adaptation of Condor, McCarthy properly broke out with Netflix's Dead to Me, playing the older son of Christina Applegate's Jen. Bartels, on the other hand, first rose to stardom with her work as a TikTok and YouTube influencer, while subsequently finding acting success with Disney Channel's Coop & Cami Ask the World and Nickelodeon's Side Hustle.

McCarthy and Bartels star in Goosebumps: The Vanishing's story as Devin and Cece, twin siblings who head to New York to spend the summer with their father, Anthony, from whom they've become somewhat estranged following his divorce from their mom. Having been warned to stay out of the basement by their dad,...

David Schwimmer is venturing into the chilling world of horror for the first time in Goosebumps: The Vanishing. Though having worked steadily through the early '90s in recurring and supporting roles in both film and TV, Schwimmer quickly became a household name thanks to his turn as Ross Geller in the hit sitcom Friends, a role he played for all 10 seasons, and earned an Emmy nomination for. The years since have seen him explore a wide variety of genres, including the true-story-based The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, which netted him his second Emmy nomination, and the animated Madagascar franchise.

Schwimmer stars in Goosebumps: The Vanishing as Anthony, a single father and botanist living in New York whose teenage son Devin and daughter Cece come to stay with him for the summer. Since he was a teenager, Anthony has been haunted by the sudden disappearance of his brother,...

David Schwimmer and two key creatives behind Goosebumps have discussed the show giving him his first lead horror role. The Disney+ anthology series is inspired by the children's book series of the same name by R. L. Stine and tells a different family-friendly horror story every season. The upcoming Goosebumps season 2, which is subtitled The Vanishing and follows teenage siblings who uncover a dangerous secret hidden in their new home, boasts a brand-new ensemble cast that includes Schwimmer, Ana Ortiz, Sam McCarthy, Jayden Bartels, Elijah M. Cooper, Galilea La Salvia, and Francesca Noel.

ScreenRant had the opportunity to interview Goosebumps showrunner Hilary Winston, co-creator Rob Letterman, and star David Scwhimmer ahead of the new season. Letterman and Winston revealed that they were already thinking of going with a comedy star for the role because "comedy and horror are so linked," but casting the Friends alumnus felt like a long shot.

In the same The Hollywood Reporter interview where he revealed that Netflix is developing three more Fear Street movies, author R.L. Stine also spent some time hyping up another streaming adaptation of his work: Goosebumps: The Vanishing. The second season of the new Goosebumps TV series, Goosebumps: The Vanishing is set to make its premiere on January 10th on Disney+ and Hulu – and Stine described this as an “elevated” Goosebumps that’s more terrifying than the source material.

The first season of Goosebumps centered on a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past. The show is taking the anthology route, so we can expect a second season that has “an entirely new cast and setting based on Stine’s iconic Scholastic book series.

Goosebumps: The Vanishing promises to include more than a few scares when Season 2 of the anthology series premieres on Disney+. However, David Schwimmer, who will lead an all-new cast, recently revealed that his biggest fear comes from real life.

"What gives me goosebumps in real life, not watching a movie or something, is when you are looking for your car at night in an underground parking lot, and you suddenly have that moment of, 'I don't know where my car is, and I'm utterly alone in this parking lot,'" Schwimmer told GamesRadar+. "I hope I'm not the only person who's experienced that. But then you hear some sound, but you don't know where it came from, and then you're just like, 'Oh, Ok; I hope I find my car.'"

Season 2 of Goosebumps will feature an entirely new set of characters and stories, separate from Season 1, that will pull from some of the franchise's most iconic original books, including Stay Out of the Basement, The Haunted Car, Monster Blood, The Girl Who Cried Monster, The Ghost Next Door, and Welcome to Camp Nightmare.

The cast that The Direct spoke with were Sam McCarthy (Devin Brewer), Jayden Bartels (Cece Brewer), Ana Ortiz (Jen), Francesca Noel (Alex), Elijah M. Cooper (Cj), Galilea La Salvia (Frankie), and Stony Blyden (Trey).

The 2023 Goosebumps reboot series was a pleasant surprise for me. Despite my nostalgic love for both the original books and the campy charm of the 1990s TV show, I never figured that a more serious attempt on the material would be able to feel genuinely scary while staying true to the franchise’s iconic roots. And yet that’s exactly what they did.

The ensemble cast was compelling, the stakes felt real, and the cliffhanger ending left me eager to see what this creative team had in store for the second season. However, Goosebumps: The Vanishing opts to not address that ending at all and instead tell a completely new story with a new set of characters in a new setting. And while the story they tell isn’t bad, it definitely leaves something to be desired. Though please keep in mind that this only applies to the first six episodes,...

Rl Stine’s bestselling franchise returns for a second series, this time as an anthology TV show called Goosebumps: The Vanishing. Here’s the trailer.

Rl Stine’s Goosebumps is one of the bestselling book series in history. It is no surprise that it has had myriad screen adaptations over the years, including a new TV series – an anthology show called Goosebumps: The Vanishing

The synopsis, via Disney, reads as follows:

Goosebumps: The Vanishing begins with fraternal twins Cece (Jayden Bartels) & Devin (Sam McCarthy) adjusting to life with their recently divorced dad, Anthony (David Schwimmer). When the duo discovers a threat stirring, they quickly realize that dark secrets are among them, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery.

In the new Goosebumps: The Vanishing trailer, dad and divorcee Anthony (played by David Schwimmer) has one rule for his twins spending a summer in his Gravesend, Brooklyn, home: Stay out of the basement.

The command naturally leads one curious twin Devin, played by Sam McCarthy, to ask the following: “What do you got in the basement?”

What follows is an uptick in supernatural events: worm-like creatures wriggle around in Anthony’s arm, red sludge overflows from a bathroom sink, and a car begins to steer itself. Goosebumps: The Vanishing...

Goosebumps is coming back for Season 2 on Disney+ and we’ve got details on The Vanishing!

Disney+ (like many streamers) has had a bad habit of canceling some fun shows after just one season: Willow, American Born Chinese, Renegade Nell and even Star Wars: The Acolyte. So it says something that Goosebumps was renewed for a second season over more high-profile shows.

It helps the show has a built-in fanbase, based on the long-running young adult horror books by R.L. Stine. It focused on a pack of teens who are haunted by a twisted spirit that ties into a crime committed by their parents and integrating parts of several of the books. The show was a good success, earning a second season.

However, rather than bringing back the original cast, the series will take on an anthology approach. Thus, Season 2 has a brand new title and storyline, subtitled The Vanishing.

David Schwimmer stars on this first look poster for the upcoming new season of Goosebumps!

The Disney+ series, based on the popular Rl Stine books, returns for a second season next year, and the premiere date and new subtitle have been revealed.

The news was unveiled in celebration of Rl Stine‘s birthday, which is Today (October 8)!
