Some of my favorite episodes of TV in recent years have come from the previous two installments of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? revival, Carnival of Doom and Curse of the Shadows, so I can't wait to see what spooky surprises are in store for Midnight Society members both old and new in the latest season, Ghost Island. Ahead of its July 30th premiere on Nickelodeon, we have a look at the new trailer featuring an eerie hotel with one room in particular that guests should avoid staying in:

The co-writer and director of Blumhouse's Truth or Dare and Blumhouse's Fantasy Island, Jeff Wadlow is no stranger to bringing fun and frightening stories to life on the big screen, and he brings that same ambitious approach to the realm of television as the executive producer and director of four episodes of the new season of Nickleodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? reboot, Curse of the Shadows. With the six-episode new season premiering tonight on Nickleodeon, we caught up with Wadlow to discuss Curse of the Shadows, including bringing the Shadowman to life, channeling The Goonies in the new season, and pushing the scares even further this time around.
Just out of curiosity, how did you get involved? Was this something that was brought to you and you just couldn't pass up on it because of the franchise and the history there?
Jeff Wadlow: Yeah, it's funny. To be completely honest,...

The Midnight Society’s campfire was restoked—figuratively and literally—for the 2019 Halloween season by Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? three-episode miniseries, which enticed audiences old and new for more chilling exploits from a new generation of the classic kid coterie of scare-chasers. Thus, the network subsequently greenlit Season 2, this time for six episodes, which begin their weekly run in February.
Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows is the title of Season 2, indicating that the series will again eschew its classic single-episode story format to utilize the entirety of a season to tell one epic story, having moved on from the 2019 miniseries storyline centered on demented ringmaster Mr. Tophat and his Carnival of Doom. Moreover, we’re already getting an all-new Midnight Society; a lineup tasked with pursuing a mysterious creature called the Shadowman.

One of my favorite viewing experiences this year was finally catching up on Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? revival, and while I'm bummed that the characters from the first season won't be returning, I'm still thrilled to see whatever the new Midnight Society cooks up next around the campfire.
With the new season of Are You Afraid of the Dark? premiering sometime in 2021, Nickelodeon is celebrating the New Year a bit early with their first teaser video for the new season that reveals its official title: Curse of the Shadows.
While the first season of the Are You Afraid of the Dark? revival (titled Carnival of Doom) featured three episodes, the new season will comprise six episodes.
