Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? celebrated the return of the Midnight Society at New York Comic Con 2019 with a panel discussing the tale of how the iconic horror series has been reimagined for a new generation, by sharing stories from the making of the limited series and revealing an exclusive first-look clip.
The panel featured stars Lyliana Wray (Top Gun: Maverick), Sam Ashe Arnold (Best. Worst. Weekend. Ever.), Miya Cech (Rim of the World), Jeremy Ray Taylor (IT Chapter Two) and Rafael Casal (Blindspotting), writer/executive producer BenDavid Grabinski and executive producer Matt Kaplan. Laura Prudom of IGN moderated.
The panel featured a sneak peek clip of the upcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark? three-part limited series event, which is based on the ‘90s kids’ cult classic.
Across the three hour-long episodes, the series follows members of an entirely new Midnight Society, who tell a terrifying tale of the Carnival of Doom and its evil ringmaster Mr. Tophat, only to witness the shocking story come frightfully to life.
