Disney Plus Cancels Beloved Series After Two Seasons
Fans are bound to be disappointed as this series was based on a major IP that has appealed to several generations' worth of fans. The numbers for this Disney Plus series even confirmed that audiences were eager to enjoy a new interpretation of the material. For Disney, however, it looks like the series just didn't work out for the platform.
Fortunately, there seems to be some hope that the series could find a new home as the studio behind it shops it to new outlets. As shared via Variety:
'According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, series producer Sony Pictures Television plans to shop the show to other outlets and explore different creative directions for the IP.'
This IP is none other than Goosebumps , the Disney Plus series inspired by the hit books of the same name. R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series quickly became a worldwide sensation and spawned tons of merchandise and a completely separate live-action show in the 1990s. This was followed by two live-action movies later released by Sony Pictures in the 2010s, paving the way for the aforementioned Disney Plus series.
The outlet confirms that the popularity of the books still surrounded the series, as it 'pulled in 75 million hours views combined in the U.S.' between the two seasons, with the Disney Plus show also having '43 million hours viewed across 16 international markets.'
Each season of the series revolved around a different group of characters and stories inspired by the books, and it's possible that this change in concept just didn't work for Disney Plus. With Sony Pictures Television interested in keeping the Goosebumps television brand alive, however, we could see some kind of return in the future. Either way, Goosebumps as a whole is still going strong, with new books being published to this day.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Goosebumps as we have them. It'll be interesting to see if a new home is located for the series, though fans can still view the two existing seasons of the show on Disney Plus.

‘Alien: Earth' Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
The Alien prequel series Alien: Earth is now available on streaming and cable on Hulu and FX. When will new episodes of the sci-fi horror series be available? The Alien franchise, of course, kicked off in 1979 with director Ridley Scott's Alien, which introduced movie audiences to Sigourney Weaver's iconic character Ellen Ripley. Now, 46 years after the release of the landmark sci-fi horror movie with the classic tagline, 'In space no one can hear you scream,' comes Alien: Earth from creator Noah Hawley (Fargo). The official summary for Alien: Earth reads, 'In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. 'But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named 'Wendy' marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.' Alien: Earth stars Sydney Chandler as Wendy, the first synthetic hybrid to be given a human consciousness, while Timothy Olyphant plays Kirsh, a synthetic charged with training the first group of hybrids. Alex Lawther also stars as Wendy's brother, Hermit. The first two episodes of Alien: Earth premiered simultaneously on FX on cable and streaming on Hulu on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Alien: Earth consists of eight episodes overall, which will air and stream weekly at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The streaming service also offers an ad-based bundling package with Disney+ and Max for $16.99 per month and an ad-free package for $29.99 per month. How Are Rotten Tomatoes Critics Reacting To 'Alien: Earth'? As of Tuesday, Rotten Tomatoes critics have collectively given Alien: Earth a 94% 'fresh' rating based on 66 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus reads, 'Stylistically bold and scary as hell, Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth transplants the Xenomorph mythos into the television medium with its cinematic grandeur intact while staking out a unique identity of its own.' The audience summary and score on RT's Popcornmeter based on verified user ratings is still pending. Also starring Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, Adrian Edmondson, David Rysdahl, Essie Davis, Lily Newmark, Erana James, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Kit Young, Diêm Camille, Moe Bar-El and Sandra Yi Sencindiver, Alien: Earth is new on FX on cable and Hulu on streaming.
