Goosebumps: First Look and Premiere Date for Disney+ & Hulu Reboot
The Goosebumps franchise is staging a comeback right in time for the spooky season.
Goosebumps, the chilling new series inspired by R.L. Stine's worldwide bestselling Scholastic book series, is set to debut across both Disney+ and Hulu on Friday, October 13.
From Disney Branded Television and Sony Pictures Television, the 10-part series will launch with a five-episode drop as part of Disney+'s "Hallowstream" and Hulu's "Huluween" celebrations, with subsequent new episodes streaming weekly.
The first two episodes will air on Freeform on October 13 as part of its "31 Nights of Halloween" programming.
The remaining episodes will be streaming exclusively, so you'll have to sign up for one of the services to watch if you want more Goosebumps.
"R.L. Stine's 'Goosebumps' franchise is a pop culture phenomenon that holds a special place in the hearts of people of all ages," said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, in a statement.
"We are delighted to bring this spooky new series to audiences everywhere in a big way on Disney+ and Hulu, which we hope will not only captivate new audiences with its elevated thrills and chills, but also lifelong fans nostalgic for the stories that are a staple of their generation."
