Exclusive: R.L. Stine and Executive Producer Seth Grahame-Smith talk Disney+ Anthology Series ‘Just Beyond’
Premiering Wednesday, October 13th on Disney+ is ‘Just Beyond,’ inspired by the writings of R.L. Stine.
“Just Beyond” is an eight-episode anthology series that tells astonishing and thought-provoking stories of a reality just beyond the one we know. Each episode introduces viewers to a new cast of characters who must go on a surprising journey of self-discovery in a supernatural world of witches, aliens, ghosts and parallel universes.
Stine, prolific author of young-adult horror fiction, including the “Goosebumps” and “Fear Street” series, has been scaring readers worldwide for over 35 years. The show’s creators referenced his popular page-turners while developing their new series of hair-raising stories. Episodes acknowledge teenage struggles, such as bullying, peer pressure and anxiety, through supernatural storylines that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales spoke about the series with writer R.L. Stine (“Goosebumps”) and Seth Grahame-Smith, who created the horror/comedy anthology and has a history of moving between horror and comedy as author of the bestselling novels “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.”
