Last week, it was announced that filming had begun on a feature adaptation of the bestselling young adult fantasy novel Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater. At the time, it was revealed that Maddie Ziegler (My Old Ass) and Levi Miller (Kraven the Hunter) star in the film, and now Deadline has named several of their co-stars. Ziegler and Miller are joined in the cast by Sofia Wylie (The Map That Leads to You), Lyon Daniels (The Spiderwick Chronicles), Alexander Ludwig (Earth Abides), Ross Butler (Shazam!

She has also voiced the character for the upcoming animated series Marvel Zombies.

A Marvel star has been cast, along with six other actors, in the upcoming movie adaptation of Shiver, a young adult fantasy romance novel that has drawn comparisons to Twilight.

The series' fantastical world and the love triangle between Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black continues to resonate years later.

Shiver was first published in 2009 and was followed by three sequels in The Wolves of Mercy Falls series.

As previously announced, Maddie Ziegler and Levi Miller star. Production in Vancouver is underway.

Adapted for the screen by McCarthy and Jett Tattersall, Shiver follows Grace, who was attacked by a pack of wolves as a child. However, one of them—a yellow-eyed wolf — saved her, creating an inexplicable bond between them. Years later, she meets a young man named Sam with the exact same yellow eyes and immediately feels a connection to him. Their love...

According to one of the show's stars, the fate of The Spiderwick Chronicles and whether it will get a Season 2 have not yet been decided.

Season 1 ended on a massive cliffhanger as the Grace family unknowingly failed to stop the villainous Mulgarath (Christian Slater). 

Instead of vanquishing their true enemy, Mallory Grace (Mychala Lee) accidentally banished her actual brother, Jared (Lyon Daniels), to the fairy realm. Now, Mulgarath is disguised as Jared, and the rest of the family has no idea of his true identity.

The first teaser trailer has arrived for The Spiderwick Chronicles, along with the reveal that the series will debut on April 19, 2024.

An all-new TV series adaptation based on the novel series, The Spiderwick Chronicles was previously in development for a streaming release on Disney+. In August 2023, it was revealed that Disney+ had opted not to move forward with the show as part of the streaming platform's cost-cutting measures. This was seen as a surprise at the time, as the show had already completed filming by that point. By October 2023, The Roku Channel acquired the U.S. rights to the abandoned series, and this also came with the reveal that the show would be upped to eight episodes, a bump from the original Disney+ order of six. On Wednesday, Roku unveiled the first teaser trailer, and it can be viewed below.
