Disney+ Greenlights New Horror Show Based On R.L. Stine Comic

Not long after the news of a new Goosebumps television show is in the works, it was announced today that R. L Stine's series at BOOM! Studios, Just Beyond, will be coming to Disney+ in a live-action series. A writers room is being assembled and the series is expected to come to Disney+ in the fall of 2021.

The television series will be written by writer Seth Grahame-Smith who's credits include The Lego Batman Movie, Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies and the upcoming The Saint reboot.

"I grew up watching Twilight Zone reruns and the original Amazing Stories with my parents,” Grahame-Smith said in a statement. I've always wanted to make a genre anthology series that families could enjoy together, and do it in a way that delivered for kids and adults alike. R.L. Stine has been a part of millions of childhoods, and Disney+ has already proven itself as a place that knows how to make high-quality shows for the whole family. I couldn't be more excited to be working with both of them."

Written by Stine with art by Kelly & Nichole Matthews, Just Beyond debuted back in September of 2019 and was through Boom's imprint Kaboom, which is skewed toward a younger audience, marking the first time the author had originated new concepts for comics. The newest addition to the series, Horror at Happy Landing, is available May 12.
