Summary
According to producer Pavun Shetty, there is a possibility of Goosebumps season 2 delving into R.L. Stine's "Night of the Living Dummy" book. While the first season lightly explores the famous Stine saga, it is anticipated to play a more significant role in the future storyline.
Goosebumps season 2 seems highly possible, given the positive indicators. The series achieved a remarkable 4.2 million views for its debut episode on Hulu and Disney+, solidifying its triumph for Disney Branded Television. Additionally, it stands out as the most successful streaming season premiere since Monsters at Work.
Producer Pavun Shetty suggests that in Goosebumps season 2, they will explore R.L. Stine's popular book "Night of the Living Dummy" in more depth. This installment of the franchise revolves around a group of teenagers who accidentally release supernatural forces and must recapture them, while also uncovering their parents' hidden secrets. The serialized revival of Goosebumps premiered on October 13 on Hulu and Disney+, receiving mostly positive reviews. Shetty hints that "Night of the Living Dummy" will play a greater role in the Disney+ series.
“We incorporate elements of Night of the Living Dummy into season one, although it is not a standalone narrative. Nevertheless, Slappy plays a significant role in the series and it was thrilling to draw inspiration from those books, albeit not directly from the original or its sequel, Night of the Living Dummy II. Consequently, I believe there are still numerous aspects we can explore from Night of the Living Dummy in the future.”
Why Goosebumps Season 2 Has A Good Chance Of Happening
Although the series has not yet been renewed for a second season, there are promising indications. Disney proudly announced that the premiere episode of the new Goosebumps garnered an impressive 4.2 million total views on Hulu and Disney+ within the first three days of its release. This achievement also marked the most-watched season debut for Disney Branded Television in 2023 on both Disney+ and Hulu, surpassing the viewership of popular shows like Monsters at Work in 2021. It is important to note that a view is calculated by dividing the total runtime of the title by the total stream time.
The possibility of Goosebumps season 2 happening is supported by the fact that Disney tends to promote successful shows with intentions of continuing them. Alongside other highly praised originals like Loki season 2 and Ahsoka, Goosebumps stands out. Showing promise for a future season, the show's creative team has expressed their desire to extend the series for multiple seasons. Additionally, the young and talented cast, including Zack Morris, Isa Briones, Miles McKenna, Ana Yi Puig, and Will Price, along with veteran Justin Long in a significant supporting role, form the core group of the show. Considering the early indications, it is likely that they will return for another installment.
