Goosebumps is coming back on Disney+, and now they’ve added a veteran comedy actor to its cast. Variety reports that Rob Huebel has joined the cast in a recurring guest star role. The series is based on the classic R.L. Stine bestselling book series and follows a group of five high schoolers who unleash supernatural forces upon their town. They must work together despite their differences, rivalries, and more to come together and save it. The show won’t follow the format of the classic ’90s series, which was an anthology.
Rob Huebel joins Ana Yi Puig, Miles McKenna, Will Price, Justin Long, Zack Morris, Isa Briones, and Rachael Harris. Huebel will play Colin, the father of Margot (Briones). He’s described as “a well-intentioned high school guidance counselor who is about to discover the world is a lot bigger and scarier than he ever imagined.”
Huebel is a veteran character actor with an Emmy-nomination for Children’s Hospital on Adult Swim. He’s also made appearances in The Goldbergs, Bob’s Burgers, I Love You Man, and Transparent.
As for the creative team behind Goosebumps, Nick Stoller and Rob Letterman serve as co-creators and executive producers. Julia Ruchman, James Eagan, and Nick Adams are co-executive producers and writers on the series.
The series should release on Disney+ at some point in 2023.
