The Pretty Freekin Scary book series has four pieces. The first two books, You Smell Dead and Me So Pretty!, were published in 2007. Meanwhile, the third and fourth books correspondingly titled The Mystery of the Mystery Meat and Been There, Crossed Over came out a year later. The series has an average rating of 4 on Goodreads.

It’s not clear if the upcoming comedy series is based on all four books or a particular one.

However, the show's synopsis reads:

“Fourteen-year-old Frankie Ripp had the perfect life — a great family, annoying little brother, a popular boyfriend and a BFF she could always count on. However, her life took a surprising turn after an unfortunate incident."

It continues:

"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!”

The series had been in development since March 2022 and got the green signal a few months later in October 2022. After the production began, it was wrapped by January 31, 2023.
