Goosebumps has unveiled the first trailer for its second season, with Friends star David Schwimmer at the centre of the action.

The Disney+ anthology show serves as an adaptation of RL Stine's series of novels, with each season focusing on a new batch of characters and a new storyline.

The second season, which is subtitled The Vanishing, follows two twins as they visit their divorced father during summer vacation, and uncover a spooky mystery in the local area.

Ahead of the season premiere on January 10 2025, the first trailer shows Schwimmer's character attempting to investigate the death of his brother, who died when they were children. He soon gets more than he bargained for as he encounters a monstrous entity.

Meanwhile, the younger generation also come into contact with their own ghoulish creatures, whilst Schwimmer's Anthony begins to feel the full effect of his dastardly discovery as he stars to behave erratically.

What to Read Next

"The season begins when twins Devin (Sam McCarthy) and Cece Brewer (Jayden Bartels) are sent to spend a summer in Gravesend, Brooklyn, with their divorced dad," reads the logline. "A threat is stirring, and they quickly realise that dark secrets are among them, triggering a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery."

Devin, Cece and their friends – Alex (Francesca Noel), CJ (Elijah M Cooper) and Frankie (Galilea La Salvia) – become "entangled in the chilling tale of four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994."
