The Goosebumps Disney+ series has added Isa Briones (Star Trek: Picard) and Zack Morris (EastEnders) to its ever-growing cast, as reported by Variety. They will join Justin Long, Ana Yi Puig (Jade Armor), Miles McKenna (Guilty Party), and Will Price (The Equalizer).
The story of the Goosebumps Disney+ series will follow a group of teens who bring forth a supernatural force that they must stop together. In this, they will push aside any drama and discover their parents’ secrets from their youth. The story is influenced by five books of the R.L. Stine series.
Isa Briones and Zack Morris have some details on their Goosebumps characters. Briones will play Jane, a studious teen who wants to make something of her life that would be memoir worthy. Meanwhile, her co-star will play Isaiah, a football star with a struggling family, as they hope he can make a scholarship through his football experience to lead him to success.

Co-creators Nick Stoller and Rob Letterman will executive produce. Kevin Murphy will executive produce while acting as showrunner. Neal H. Mortiz, Pavun Shetty, Conor Welch, Erin O’Malley, Iole Lucchese, and Caitlin Friedman will executive produce too. Julia Ruchman, James Eagan, and Nick Adams will co-write and executive produce the Goosebumps Disney+ series.
Goosebumps is not the only property Disney+ is investing in from Stine. October 13 will be the premiere of Just Beyond, an adaption of his graphic novels.
The first of the books was published in 1992. An anthology series brought various books to life, with each episode from 1996 to 1998 for 74 episodes. A 2015 movie was made, which Moritz produced and Letterman directed. It starred Jack Black and Dylan Minnette (Scream). Ari Sandel (Aim High) helmed the 2018 sequel, which starred Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), and Jeremy Ray Taylor (It).
