When is Just Beyond coming to Disney Plus?
The bestselling R.L. Stine graphic novels are coming to the streaming service in 2021
Another new Disney Plus original is set to make its way to the streaming service, with Just Beyond – a new series based on the graphic novels by Goosebumps author R.L. Stine – newly greenlit by the House of Mouse.
Created by Seth Grahame-Smith, Just Beyond is set to be a horror/comedy anthology in the realm of The Twilight Zone, following a number of different characters and stories in each episode.
"I grew up watching Twilight Zone reruns and the original Amazing Stories with my parents,” said Seth Grahame-Smith.
“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 Plus 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."
