In the wake of his Goosebumps books finally becoming a movie franchise. R.L. Stine’s Fear Street saga is next headed to the screen with not one, not two, but THREE films in the works at 20th Century Fox. Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) will reportedly be directing two films in the trilogy, with Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) directing the other one.

Collider reports today that Kiana Madeira (pictured below; She Never Died) and Olivia Welch have signed on to star in the trilogy, with both actresses set to appear in all three Fear Street movies.

The site notes, “Sources say that Madeira and Welch will each be playing gay teenagers trying to navigate their rocky relationship when they’re targeted by the crazy horrors of their small town, Shadyside. Each actress will be playing two different characters — one in the mid-’90s, and one in the 1600s.”

Here’s everything we know about the three films thus far…

FEAR STREET 1: In 1994, in the aftermath of a brutal tragedy in Shadyside, Ohio, a group of teens discover that a series of horrifying events that have plagued their town over many years might not be random, and that they may be the next victims.

FEAR STREET 2: In 1978, Camp Nightwing is divided by the campers and counselors who hail from the of prosperous town of Sunnyvale and the campers and maintenance staffers from the downtrodden town of Shadyside, but when horrors from their towns shared history come alive, they must band together to solve a terrifying mystery before it’s too late.

FEAR STREET 3: In 1666, a colonial town is gripped by a hysterical witch-hunt that has deadly consequences for centuries to come, and it’s up to teenagers in 1994 to try and finally put an end to their town’s curse, before it’s too late.

In 1989, three years before Goosebumps came onto the scene and made him a household name, R.L. Stine launched the lesser-known series of books, Fear Street. Taking place in the fictional city of Shadyside, Ohio, the teen-oriented Fear Street books pit teenagers up against adversaries both human and paranormal, and a total of 52 stories comprised the original line.
