Nickelodeon’s ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK revival series is headed our way this Halloween and today we have the show's first teaser trailer to share with you guys! Written by Ben David Grabinski (Skiptrace) and directed by Dean Israelite (Power Rangers, Project Almanac), the three-episode hourlong limited series introduces an entirely new Midnight Society group of kids who
tell a terrifying tale about the Carnival of Doom, only to have the events of the story come to life.
The cast currently includes Sam Ashe Arnold (Best.Worst.Weekend.Ever.), Miya Cech (Rim of the World), Tamara Smart (Artemis Fowl), Lyliana Wray (Top Gun: Maverick), Rafael Casal (Blindspotting), and – get this – IT and GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN star Jeremy Taylor. Nice!
Arnold, Cech, Smart, Taylor, and Wray are the new members of the Midnight Society while Casal will be playing The Carnival of Doom’s ringmaster, Mr. Tophat. The limited series is produced by ACE Entertainment (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before) with ACE founder Matt Kaplan and Spencer Berman serving as executive producers. Grabinski and Israelite also executive produce. The limited series is slated for premiere in October.
