The class of Shadyside High has a new menace to contend with.
Netflix has set a global debut date for FEAR STREET: PROM QUEEN on May 23–right in the middle of prom season, of course. The new installment of the popular movie franchise based on the writings of R.L. Stine was directed by Matt Palmer from a script he wrote with Donald Mcleary and stars India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, Chris Klein, David Iacono, Ella Rubin, Ariana Greenblatt, Lili Taylor, Katherine Waterson, Darrin Baker, Rebecca Ablack, Ilan O’Driscoll, Damian Romeo, Dakota Taylor, Eden Summer Gilmore, Brennan Clost, Cecilia Lee and Ryan Rosery. The synopsis: “Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked FEAR STREET franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider puts herself in the running, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”
