Goosebumps: The Vanishing cast – Full list of actors and characters in Disney Plus series
David Schwimmer and Ana Ortiz lead the second season of the Goosebumps anthology series.
While it may not necessarily be the season for all things spooky right now, that's not stopping a brand new instalment of Goosebumps from landing on our screens.
The second season of the Disney Plus anthology series is entitled The Vanishing, and sees Friends star David Schwimmer take the lead as Anthony Brewer, a former botany professor who has immersed himself in science and mystery.
Like the first season, The Vanishing is inspired by the best-selling book series by RL Stine, and follows twins Cece and Devin Brewer, who are sent to spend a summer in Gravesend, Brooklyn, with their divorced dad.
But they soon discover some dark secrets, which triggers "a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery", according to the show's synopsis.
Of course, this isn't the first time that Stine's books have provided the material for some pop culture delights, with the book series being the basis of a video game run, comics and a set of feature films that starred Jack Black and Dylan Minnette.
While the first season boasted the likes of Eastenders' Zack Morris, Jeepers Creepers' Justin Long and Lucifer's Rachael Harris, to name a few, The Vanishing has an entirely new cast.
But who stars in this new season? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of Goosebumps seasons 1 and 2 (aka The Vanishing).
