“Goosebumps” Season 2 – Meet the Brand New Cast of Characters
The Disney+ series “Goosebumps” is coming back for a brand new second season that will feature a new cast, new setting, and new story, and more casting has been announced.
Deadline reports today, “Sam McCarthy (Dead to Me) and Jayden Bartels (Side Hustle) are fraternal twins Devin and Cece, respectively; Elijah Cooper (That Girl Lay Lay) is CJ; Galilea La Salvia (Party Down) is Frankie; and Francesca Noel (R#J) is Alex.”
Previously announced, David Schwimmer (“American Crime Story”) and Ana Ortiz (Monster High 2) will also star in “Goosebumps” Season 2. Deadline notes, “Schwimmer plays the character of Anthony, father of twins Devin and Cece who are visiting dad for the summer.”
The Disney+ series is of course based on R.L. Stine’s iconic series of books.
Here’s the official synopsis for “Goosebumps” Season 2:
“Teenage siblings discover a threat within their home, setting off a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, the duo find themselves entangled in the story of five teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.”
Plunging viewers into a world of mystery and suspense, the first season of the new “Goosebumps” series followed 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.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
