The bestselling Goosebumps book series by R.L. Stine is getting a new live-action TV series. The show will be developed by Scholastic Entertainment, Neal H. Mortiz (who produced the Goosebumps movies) through his Original Film, and Sony.

Published by Scholastic, the Goosebumps books tell scary stories designed for kids with everything from werewolves to living dummys to monster blood. There are over 350 million books printed in English, as well as editions in 32 other languages. The books were first turned into a live-action TV series in the ’90s featuring anthology style episodes devoted to each of the books. Then in 2015 and ’18, the overall story of Goosebumps saw theatrical success as two live-action movies starring Jack Black.

Goosebumps has been keeping kids and families on the edge of their seats for nearly 30 years and we’re very excited to partner with Sony Pictures Television and Neal H. Moritz to bring the enduring brand to life in a fresh new way for today’s generation,” Iole Lucchese., Scholastic Entertainment President and Chief Strategy Officer, said. “From the world-famous book series to a full-scale licensing program and even live-action movies starring Jack Black, Goosebumps remains wildly popular and we look forward to presenting new adventures to give fans even more Goosebumps.”

Lucchese, Caitlin Friedman (Scholastic’s SVP & General Manager), Moritz, and Originals Head of Television Pavun Shetty will executive produce the series.

“I loved making the Goosebumps movies and can’t wait to bring even more of R.L. Stine’s incredible stories to life through a high-end television series that speaks to both adults and kids alike,” said Moritz.
