Netflix Just Bought An R.L. Stine Trilogy From Disney

For years, the Fear Street trilogy had been planned for production and release under the auspices of 20th Century Fox.

Naturally, in the light of the acquisition of Fox by The Walt Disney Company, the fate of Fear Street seemed to hang in the balance. Fortunately, the films escaped the fate of projects that were outright cancelled, like Mouse Guard, or sold to other studios, like the Tom Hanks/Paul Greengrass drama News of the World.
