Disney+ has sent shockwaves through its fanbase by abruptly cancelling the much-loved horror series 'Goosebumps' after just one season. The show, which starred Hollywood favourite Justin Long, had garnered a dedicated following since its debut in October 2023.
The news has left fans fuming, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment. "This is such a terrible decision," wrote one viewer. "The show was brilliant and had so much potential for future seasons."
Why Was Goosebumps Cancelled?
While Disney+ hasn't officially commented on the reasons behind the cancellation, industry insiders suggest it may be part of the streamer's wider cost-cutting measures. The decision comes despite the show's:
- Strong viewership numbers
- Critical acclaim for its modern take on R.L. Stine's classic stories
- Popular cast including Justin Long and Rachael Harris
Fan Reactions Pour In
The cancellation has sparked outrage among the show's loyal fanbase:
- "This was the best adaptation of Goosebumps we've ever had!"
- "Disney+ keeps cancelling good shows while keeping rubbish ones."
- "Justin Long was perfect in this - bring it back!"
Many fans are now campaigning for another platform to pick up the series, with some suggesting Netflix or Amazon Prime as potential new homes for the horror anthology.
What's Next for the Cast?
With the show's sudden end, attention turns to the talented cast:
- Justin Long has several projects in development
- Young stars Zack Morris and Isa Briones were breakout performers
- Rachael Harris continues her successful comedy career
While Disney+ moves on from 'Goosebumps', the series will remain available to stream - for now. Fans are encouraged to watch and rewatch to show their support, in hopes the decision might be reversed.
