The Newton Brothers (Taylor Stewart & Andy Grush) (Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Oculus, The Midnight Club) are the composers of the new Disney+ original series Goosebumps. The show is developed by Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Neighbors) & Rob Letterman (Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, Monsters vs. Aliens) inspired by R.L. Stine’s worldwide bestselling book series of the same title and stars Justin Long, Rachael Harris, Isa Briones, Zack Morris, Miles McKenna, Will Price and Ana Yi Puig. The series follows a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a journey to investigate the tragic passing of a teenager three decades earlier, while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past. Manish Raval & Tom Wolfe serve as the project’s music supervisors. Stoller & Letterman are also executive producing the Sony Pictures Television production with Hilary Winston (Bad Teacher), Neal H. Moritz (Fast & Furious, Sonic the Hedgehog), Caitlin Friedman & Iole Lucchese (Clifford the Big Red Dog), Pavun Shetty (The Boys, Gen V), Conor Welch (Platonic, Panhandle), Erin O’Malley (New Girl, American Born Chinese) and Kevin Murphy (The Son, Caprica). Goosebumps will premiere this Friday, October 13 on Disney+.
The composers’ other recent projects include the Netflix limited series The Fall of the House of Usher, which will premiere this Thursday, as well as Emma Tammi’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, which will open in theaters on October 27. They also have the Disney+ animated series X-Men ’97 (to premiere in 2024) coming up.
You’re telling me The Newton Brothers are actually named Stewart and Grush? Next thing you’ll be telling me they aren’t brothers.
Let me provide a slight correction, those are their LAST names. Their full names are John Andrew Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart.
