Where To Watch Goosebumps (Original Show & Reboot)

R.L. Stine's beloved '90s book series Goosebumps spawned an equally iconic anthology television series that debuted on Fox Kids Network in 1995 and was later rebooted by Disney in 2023, and both versions of the show are easily available to watch online. The books and the original Goosebumps TV show were famous for walking the line between scariness and silliness, striking a unique balance that led to the series being embraced by millions since the release of the first novel in 1992. Disney's rebooted version of Goosebumps leans into that balance while updating the narratives for a modern audience.

Like the original series, Disney's rebooted Goosebumps TV show looks to titles from the books for its stories. However, where the first series was an anthology, with each episode representing a separate story, the reboot has one continuous narrative. The newer Goosebumps show is also exclusive to one streaming service. In contrast, the '90s series, which initially aired on commercial television via Fox Kids Network, can now be found on various video-on-demand platforms and only partially on a different major streaming service.

The Goosebumps Reboot Streams On Disney+

Goosebumps Season 2 Premiered In January 2025

The first season of the Goosebumps reboot series streams on Disney+ and Hulu. The first season premiered on Friday the 13th, in October 2023. The first five episodes debuted all at once, with further episodes airing every week through the season 1 finale, which aired on November 17, 2023. Additionally, the first two episodes of the series aired on Freeform, a Disney property, as part of their 31 Nights of Halloween set of programming. Now, the second season is coming to Disney+ as well.

The second Goosebumps season premiered on Disney+ on January 10, 2025. However, this release is different from the first season. Instead of releasing a few episodes and then releasing the rest weekly, the entire season hits the streaming service, with all eight episodes hitting on January 10. The series is in its second season but will not be listed as "season 2." Instead, the series will be called Goosebumps: The Vanishing. While many of the cast returns, the series will become an anthology series (similar to Fargo), so they will play new characters.

The Goosebumps reboot includes several of the most notable characters from R.L. Stine's extensive rogues' gallery. The first season included Slappy and the Horrorland Horrors. Episode titles like "Night of the Living Dummy," "Say Cheese and Die," "Reader Beware," and "Give Yourself Goosebumps," allow the show to borrow from several other R.L. Stine's Goosebumps-related books. Where the '90s Goosebumps TV series was intended for younger viewers, the reboot sought to appeal to a new young audience and the adults who embraced the original show.

Where To Watch Goosebumps Season 1 & The Movies

Goosebumps Season 1 Is On Disney+

Fans who love the new reboot of Goosebumps can catch the first season before the second drops by watching it on Disney+. The 1990s series was all about adapting R.L. Stine's original Goosebumps novels. However, that changed a little with the Goosebumps 2023 rebooted series. The first season saw five high school students head out to investigate the death of a teen named Harold Biddle from three decades earlier and unearth dark secrets from their parents' past. This season has 10 episodes that fans can catch up on before watching season 2.

There is also a chance to catch the films based on R.L. Stine's stories. The first Goosebumps movie was released in 2015. Jack Black starred as R.L. Stine, and Slappy appeared as the villain who released other monsters from the books onto the world. The first Goosebumps movie is available to stream for anyone with an Apple TV+ subscription. It is also available to rent on most online services for $3.99. Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is available only for renting or buying from major online retailers.
