Justin Long has been on a horror hot streak thanks to Barbarian and House of Darkness, and he’ll continue playing around in the genre with a role in the new “Goosebumps” series.

Long will be a series regular, playing “Nathan Bratt, the new schoolteacher who develops a terrifying connection to a decades-old supernatural murder.”

After two movies, the brand new live-action “Goosebumps” TV series based on R.L. Stine’s bestselling books will bring the tales back to the small screen, we recently learned.

It sounds like the series will have a similar storyline to 2015’s hit movie, which adapted many of Stine’s iconic books in one fell swoop. Here’s the project’s plot synopsis…

“The series follows a group of five high schoolers who unleash supernatural forces upon their town and must all work together – thanks to and in spite of their friendships, rivalries, and pasts with each other – in order to save it, learning much about their own parents’ teenage secrets in the process.”

Rob Letterman, who directed the 2015 Goosebumps movie, will be directing the first episode of the Disney+ series. He’s also on board to write and executive produce.

Nick Stoller will also write and executive produce the Goosebumps TV series.

Before the movies, Stine’s Goosebumps books were first turned into a TV series back in the 1990s, a live action project that ran for four seasons between 1995 and 1998.

Disney+ is also the home of R.L. Stine’s “Just Beyond.”
