Today brings our first look at Nickelodeon’s upcoming series Are You Afraid of the Dark? based on the book series launched by John Peel in 1995. Meet the (new) Midnight Society in the teaser embedded at the top of the article; look for Are You Afraid of the Dark? on Nickelodeon in October.
EW reports:
The three hourlong episodes will introduce a new group of Midnight Society kids, who gather around the fire to tell the terrifying story of Carnival of Doom (Blindspotting star Rafael Casal plays the carnival’s ringmaster). Unfortunately, the events of the tale soon begin coming to life.
“Are You Afraid of The Dark? was my introduction to the horror genre and made me a fan for life,” series writer BenDavid Grabinski tells EW. “I hope we’re lucky enough to have our series do the same. It’s going to be a fun and scary ride, and I’m honored to introduce the Midnight Society to a whole new generation of kids.”
