Netflix has given a sneak peek behind the scenes of its upcoming R.L. Stine adaptation, Fear Street: Prom Queen. Netflix recently confirmed the new movie, which is now officially in production. Following the success of the previous Fear Street trilogy, this instalment takes viewers back to 1988.
Production Update and Setting
The announcement came with an exciting behind-the-scenes video showcasing the making of Fear Street: Prom Queen. Netflix captioned the video with enthusiasm, welcoming viewers to Shadyside High for a thrilling prom night experience.
In Fear Street: Prom Queen, prom season is underway at Shadyside High, where the It Girls of the school are vying for the crown. However, things take a dark turn when an outsider is nominated, and the other girls start vanishing mysteriously. The class of ’88 is in for a night filled with unexpected horrors.
Director, Cast, and Crew
The film is directed by Matt Palmer (known for Calibre) from a script by Palmer and Donald McLeary. The cast includes India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, David Iacono, Ella Rubin, Chris Klein, Lili Taylor, and Katherine Waterston, promising compelling and chilling performances.
Connection to Previous Films
While the original Fear Street trilogy was helmed by director Leigh Janiak and interconnected with their own unique stories and time periods, it’s uncertain if Fear Street: Prom Queen will tie into its predecessors or establish a new narrative. The new film is likely to stand on its own, delivering a standalone story filled with suspense and terror.
Upcoming R.L. Stine Projects
Aside from Fear Street: Prom Queen, R.L. Stine fans can also look forward to the renewal of his Goosebumps TV series for a Season 2, promising more thrills and excitement in Stine’s iconic stories.
