The streamer has canceled its Goosebumps series, based on the enduringly popular books by R.L. Stine, after two seasons. The most recent season, subtitled The Vanishing, premiered in January. Sony Pictures TV, which owns the rights to Stine's books and produced the series, will shop Goosebumps to other outlets and also look for other creative directions for the property. There are more than 200 stories in Stine's original Goosebumps books, spinoff series and short story collections.
