Disney+ cancels Friends star David Schwimmer's beloved series after 2 seasons
Disney+ has reportedly pulled the plug on a hit show starring Friends legend David Schwimmer. The 58-year-old actor, who played Ross Geller in the iconic sitcom, swapped comedy for horror with Goosebumps earlier this year in the latest adaptation of R.L. Stine's legendary book series. Rob Letterman and Nicholas Stoller's anthology show delighted fans with its first two seasons, but now it appears a third spooky run won't be streaming on Disney+. As reported by Variety, the broadcaster has pulled the plug on the show with its future now unclear. According to the outlet, 'an individual with knowledge of the situation' claimed Sony Pictures Television – which produced the series – is planning to shop it round to other streamers. They are also interested in exploring 'different directions for the IP', although it's unclear exactly what that means.

A decade ago, Jack Black played a fictionalised version of author R.L. Stine in two family friendly Goosebumps horror films. In 2023, the franchise made the jump back to television with the now-cancelled anthology show. The first season, which starred Justin Long, followed five high school students embroiled in the tragic death of teen Harold Biddle three decades earlier. It featured fan favourite characters like Slappy the Dummy, while Schwimmer's season (subtitled The Vanishing) told a new tale. Like the first season, The Vanishing took inspiration from Goosebumps books to tell a new story, this time following twins Cece and Devin as they visited their botany professor father Anthony Brewer. After exploring a supposedly haunted abandoned fort with friends, they accidentally uncover a mystery connected to the disappearance of four teenagers 30 years ago. As noted by Variety, the two seasons had a combined 75 million hours viewed in the US, with a further 43 million hours viewed across 16 international markets. Many Goosebumps fans are gutted to see the show shelved by the streaming giant, with some throwing their support behind Netflix's Fear Street franchise based on another of Stine's book series. More Trending 'I'm so sad goosebumps was cancelled. If the next fear street movies get cancelled too, I'm gonna snap,' wrote @screamingmel, while @HorrorHollow31 added: 'That's a shame. I hope someone else picks it up.' Others argued that the Disney+ show didn't land properly by creating new season-long stories inspired by the books. Fan @DpunkJrocksM suggested: 'Bring it back as an Anthology series. Each episode being a more mature reimagining of a book.' View More » Goosebumps is available to stream on Disney+. Got a story?
