Marc Webb Will Direct R.L. Stine's JUST BEYOND Horror-Comedy Series for Disney+

Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, 500 Days of Summer) is set to direct the first two episodes of the upcoming Disney+ horror-comedy series Just Beyond. The show is based on R.L. Stine’s graphic novel series from Boom! Studios.

Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Lego Batman Movie) is writing and serving as showrunner on the eight-episode series, which is currently in production in Atlanta.

Just Beyond is an anthology series of spooky and chilling stories made for middle-grade kids. The first book in the series is titled The Scare School and this is the description of the story:

Middle grade supernatural horror series takes young readers Just Beyond the reality they know…Just Beyond their normal lives…Just Beyond the real world to an always surprising place of fantasy and fright.

Surviving middle school is hard enough but when Jess, Josh, and Marco encounter a strange and deadly creature wandering the halls of The Scare School, it leads them to a sinister secret in the boiler room...

As they leave their school behind, these three unsuspecting students enter a horrifying reality just beyond the one they know, one filled with supernatural terror and fright. Will they survive the harrowing journey and save the other children they find trapped there, or will they forever be trapped on the wrong side of The Scare School?

Stine, Grahame-Smith, and David Katzenberg are executive producers on the project. For the most part, I’ve enjoyed Webb’s work over the years, and this is going to be a great project for him.
