Disney+ is rounding out the cast for its upcoming second season of the anthology series Goosebumps, based on R.L. Stine's long-running and bestselling Scholastic series.

Premiering in October 2023, Disney Branded Television president Ayo Davis said the first season was one of Dbt's "most-watched shows of last year," making a renewal an easy option. The second season will feature a new cast and storyline.

The streamer previously announced that Emmy-nominated actor David Schwimmer would star alongside Ana Ortiz, Sam McCarthy, Jayden Bartels, Elijah Cooper, Galilea La Salvia, and Francesca Noel.

On May 31, Disney shared a press release announcing additional cast members to play four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994. Their disappearance becomes crucial to the present-day characters.

Here's the current cast of Goosebumps 2, who they play, and where you might have seen them before:

David Schwimmer (Friends) as Anthony, the divorced father of twins Cece and DevinAna Ortiz (Ugly Betty...

Stephen Curry just tipped off his 15th consecutive season with the Golden State Warriors. But, cruising into the Chase Center on Tuesday, Curry was looking to do much more than just beat the Phoenix Suns: The four-time champion was also kicking off a season-long initiative to spotlight Black fashion designers — and help turn his fans onto up-and-coming labels.

The initiative, which sees Curry teaming up with Rakuten...

From the advertising dollars to the ratings rivalry – television’s earliest timeslot is big business. Brooke Hemphill sets her alarm and goes on set to find out the perfect recipe for making breakfast TV.

It’s after midnight on a Thursday evening in Sydney’s Cbd. The streets are largely deserted as the final day of the working week looms. While the nine to five set are safely tucked up in bed, in the heart of the city, Seven’s Martin Place studio is quiet, although never sleeping. Several journalists staff the newsroom on the first level and one flight of stairs above, two producers work the overnight shift for Seven’s market-leading breakfast program, Sunrise. Soon they will be joined by line producer David ‘Dougie’ Walters who is about to begin his day.

At a time when hospitality workers and university students contemplate calling it a night, Walters is at his desk.

City analysts think News Corp could be forced to pay up to £10.2bn ($16.2bn) for the 61% of BSkyB it doesn’t own. Sky’s shares rose by 11% after announcing strong first-half results this morning. Pre-tax profits at BSkyB rose to £467m in the last six months of 2010, with revenues up 15% to £3.2bn. Rupert Murdoch has flown into London to personally oversee negotiations with the British government. City analysts predict that, with results as good as these, the longer the deal is delayed, the more BSkyB’s share price will rise – and the more News Corp will be forced to pay. Its offer of 700p per share, valuing the deal at £7.5bn, has already been rejected. News Corp is sitting on a £5.42 billion cash pile. The pressure will be on to close the deal before News Corp shareholders question whether the company can really afford it. Rbs, the City investment bank,...

City analysts tell me the reason why ITV’s stock price is creeping up again is because BSkyB could be selling its share of ITV. “It would look better from a regulatory point of view,” says Paul Richards of Numis, referring to UK competition regulator Ofcom investigating News Corp’s bid to own Sky outright. (ITV was noticeably absent from the list of signatories including the BBC and Channel 4 who wrote to UK business secretary Vince Cable last month warning him about the deal. Media analyst Claire Enders tells me: “ITV has a lot to gain by cuddling up to BSkyB.”) Rtl, Europe’s largest TV company, has been mentioned as one possible buyer of Sky’s ITV stake. NBC is another name in the mix since ITV’s news arm ITN already tailors news stories for the U.S. broadcaster. And Simon Cowell has said he’s been...

The broadcaster has flatly rejected press reports that it’s planning to halve the 1,400 staff at its London South Bank HQ over the next few years. Or that more jobs will go among the 2,600 ITV staff members elsewhere in Britain and Europe. Announcing CEO Adam Crozier’s appointment in January, chairman Archie Norman said ITV’s priority was change “not cost reduction”. "That scale of job losses is certainly not on the agenda," the broadcaster tells me. Talk that ITV was planning swingeing job losses surprised the City. Paul Richards, media analyst at Numis, tells me he doesn’t think there’s a pressing financial reason for heavy job losses right now. ITV’s debt load has come down as it emerges out of recession and the ad market picks up. “ITV is in a much stronger financial position than it was,” says Richards. “If there is a significant headcount...
