Are You Afraid of the Dark? Season 2 Update: The campfire of the Midnight Society was revived by Nickelodeon’s Are You Scared of the Dark? For the 2019 Halloween season, figuratively and practically. Three-episode miniseries, which enticed old and current viewers from a new wave of the classic kid coterie of scare-chasers for more chilling adventures.
Therefore, the network later greenlit Season 2, this time for six episodes, beginning their weekly run in February. Do you fear the dark? Curse of the Shadows is the Season 2 title, suggesting that the series will again avoid its classic single-episode plot structure and use the entirety of a season to tell an epic story, moving away from the narrative of the 2019 miniseries based on demented ringmaster Mr. Tophat and his Doom Carnival. In addition, we’re seeing an all-new Midnight Society already; a lineup charged with chasing the Shadowman, an enigmatic creature.
Are You Afraid of the Dark? Season 2: Trailer
The new leader of the Midnight Society, Connor (Parker Queenan), has evidently got himself in a pickle, caught complacent during a nighttime search for the Shadowman, an enigmatic supernatural entity that supposedly haunts the forests, specifically in their seaside area, like the Slender Man.
As a result, it’s up to the fellow scary-tales-telling comrades of the chief to investigate his abduction and expose the Shadowman’s potentially-terrifying lie. What’s clear, based on the pulse-pounding trailer, is that you dread the dark? And Matt Kaplan, executive producer, and creator of ACE Entertainment (which co-produces the Nickelodeon and DHX Media series) tell Den of Geek exclusively about the second season of the revival, we are so excited to encounter our new Midnight Society and our frightening new character, The Shadowman.
Kaplan continues, I think everyone would be shocked by how frightening and broad this season is in-depth. Interestingly enough, not only with a new Midnight Society line-up but with a new artistic alliance, the season manifests. JT Billings (Beware The Girl, Charming) serves as showrunner and executive producer, joined in particular by Jeff Wadlow, who is also the main director of the season, in the latter role.
In addition to 2013’s Kick-Ass 2, 2008’s Never Back Down and 2005’s Cry Wolf, Wadlow directed Blumhouse’s 2020 horror-infused Fantasy Island reboot feature, along with television work on the 2017 YouTube premium series Ryan Hansen Investigates Crimes on Television. His small-screen experience also comes from the credit age on The Burden of FX and the Bates Motel of A&E.
