Disney+’s Goosebumps anthology series is returning for a second season with a brand new cast, including David Schwimmer. Showrunners Hilary Winston and Rob Letterman discuss casting the comedian in a lead horror role, highlighting the link between comedy and horror genres.
David Schwimmer and two key creatives behind Goosebumps have discussed the show giving him his first lead horror role. The Disney+ anthology series is inspired by the children's book series of the same name by R. L. Stine and tells a different family-friendly horror story every season.
The upcoming Goosebumps season 2, which is subtitled The Vanishing and follows teenage siblings who uncover a dangerous secret hidden in their new home, boasts a brand-new ensemble cast that includes Schwimmer, Ana Ortiz, Sam McCarthy, Jayden Bartels, Elijah M. Cooper, Galilea La Salvia, and Francesca Noel. ScreenRant had the opportunity to interview Goosebumps showrunner Hilary Winston, co-creator Rob Letterman, and star David Schwimmer ahead of the new season. Letterman and Winston revealed that they were already thinking of going with a comedy star for the role because'comedy and horror are so linked,' but casting the Friends alumnus felt like a long shot. However, they were able to make it happen, and Winston marveled at Schwimmer's dramatic chops, saying that'he could have just easily been George Clooney.
