Goosebumps Season 2: Friends’ David Schwimmer Joins Cast of Disney+ Series

Friends’ David Schwimmer has joined the cast of Goosebumps Season 2.

Per Variety, Schwimmer has been cast as a character named Anthony, a “former botany professor and divorced parent of teenage twins whose world takes a tumultuous turn as he juggles the responsibilities of overseeing an aging parent while having his kids for the summer,” in the second season of the Disney+ series.

What will Goosebumps Season 2 be about?

The logline for Goosebumps Season 2 reads, “Teenage siblings discover a threat stirring, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, the duo find themselves entangled in the chilling tale of four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.”

Schwimmer is best known for playing Ross Geller on Friends. He also played Robert Kardashian in The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story and voices Melman in the Madagascar franchise, among other roles.

Created by Rob Letterman and Nicholas Stoller, Goosebumps, which is based on the popular book series by R. L. Stine, premiered on Disney+ and Hulu in October 2023. The first season starred Zack Morris, Isa Briones, Miles McKenna, Ana Yi Puig, Will Price, Rachael Harris, and Justin Long.

Goosebumps was renewed for a second season in February 2024. The new season will be eight episodes long and feature an entirely new cast and setting.

“Audiences everywhere fell in love with the series’ chills, thrills, heart and humor, making it one of Disney Branded Television’s most-watched shows of last year,” Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, said at the time, via Variety. “We can’t wait to dive deeper into the brilliant mind of R.L. Stine, and to collaborate once again with Sony Pictures Television, Scholastic Entertainment, and our fantastic creative team to bring an entirely new mystery to Disney+ for season two.”

A release date has not yet been set for Goosebumps Season 2.
