Seth Grahame-Smith (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, LEGO BATMAN) is currently working with Disney+ to adapt GOOSEBUMPS and FEAR STREET author R.L. Stine's best-selling JUST BEYOND graphic novels into an eight episode streaming series. Here's the offiical synopsis:
WELCOME TO THE SCARE SCHOOL. Middle school feels like the worst place imaginable, but for Jess, Josh, and Marco, their school may actually be the worst place in this world…or any other! After a chance encounter with a deadly creature stalking the school halls, these three unsuspecting students are whisked away to a horrifying realm beyond the school boiler room where they must unravel a terrifying mystery. Can they save the kids they find there and escape themselves, or will they be forever trapped Just Beyond?

And here's what Grahame-Smith had to say about the project:
I grew up watching “Twilight Zone” reruns and the original “Amazing Stories” with my parents…[so] 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.
Meanwhile, a writer's room is being assembled for the JUST BEYOND series, which is eyeing a Fall 2021 premiere.
