Pretty Freekin Scary Cancelled at Disney Channel
Pretty Freekin Scary will not be returning to the network for a second season, TVLine has confirmed with Disney Channel.
Rumblings about the acquired live-action series’ unfortunate fate first started months ago via streaming analyst Drew Ryan‘s socials, and were recently bolstered by Instagram comments made by cast member Eliana Su’a.
Pretty Freekin Scary Season 1, which aired its finale in August 2023, followed Frankie Ripp (played by 9-1-1′s Su’a) as her life took a turn following an accident. According to the official description, “After some heated debate in the Underworld with the Grim Reaper herself, Frankie is forced to navigate life with her new Underworld guardians, Pretty and Scary, in the most challenging setting of all… middle school!”
In addition to Su’a, the live-action children’s horror series starred Kyan Samuels (Game Shakers) as Pretty, Leah Mei Gold (The Casagrandes) as Scary, Yonas Kibreab (Sweet Tooth) as Remy and Emma Shannon (The Righteous Gemstones) as Nyx.
Pretty Freekin Scary is the latest of several Disney Channel shows to reach its end in the past year. Camping comedy Bunk’d will begin airing its final batch of episodes on July 5, bringing the Jessie spinoff to a close after seven seasons, while TVLine previously confirmed that Saturdays will not be skating into Season 2. Additionally, no further Secrets of Sulphur Springs will be uncovered, following the mystery series’ cancellation after three seasons.
In a case of bad news/good news, the That’s So Raven sequel series Raven’s Home is also not returning, for what would have been its seventh season. Instead, the network is developing Alice in the Palace, a spinoff which will send the character Alice (Mykal-Michelle Harris) back to England to reunite with her doppelgänger Duchess Clementine; Harris will play both roles.
I’m disappointed and sad that the show got cancelled.
Sunsetting on DisChan originals. All you deadbeats out there pony up the $7.95/month for Disney+ with ads if you want to see sub-mediocre crap sitcoms. They’ve had a string of duds in the past few years. Anyone remember the tepid response to Dakota Lotus/Ruby Turner sitcom Coop & Cammie Ask The World.
I suspect we are about to get a run of bad news from Disney. I hope Hailee’s On It returns, but I don’t have high hopes.
I’m so upset I actually enjoyed this show very much I binge watch the season a lot. I hate they keep canceling good shows and making more junk. Petition to bring it back!!! Disney we want pretty freekin scary!!!
Blame both the strike and the bad ratings for Pretty Freakin Scary. Good grief!
