We have no idea what’s going on with Paramount’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? feature film, which recently lost writer Gary Dauberman and was bumped off the release schedule, but the good news is that Nickelodeon‘s small screen revival of the ’90s series is still happening.
Deadline reports today that the limited revival will be arriving in October!
The cast so far includes Sam Ashe Arnold (Best.Worst.Weekend.Ever.), Miya Cech (Rim of the World), Tamara Smart (Artemis Fowl, The Worst Witch), Jeremy Taylor (It, Goosebumps 2:Haunted Halloween), Lyliana Wray (Top Gun: Maverick, Black-ish), and Rafael Casal (Blindspotting).
Written by BenDavid Grabinski (Skiptrace) and directed by Dean Israelite (Power Rangers movie, Project Almanac), the three-episode hourlong limited series introduces an entirely new Midnight Society, a group of kids who tell a terrifying tale about the Carnival of Doom… only to have the events of the story come to life.
Here’s hoping the new episodes do well enough to warrant more in the future!
