Pretty Freekin Scary: Unravelling the storyline and plot for the Disney adaptation

Readers who are fans of Pretty Freekin Scary and its namesake book series will find the genders of the protagonist swapped. The television series on Disney will run with Frankie as the main character instead of Franklin as present in the books. While the trademarking of the show has already begun, the series is set for its 20-episode worldwide release.

As Frankie gets caught in a web of terror, she pleads with the Grim Reaper to let her back into the living world. However, as the transaction remains, Frankie has to get back to her parents and friends with her new friends - Pretty (Kyan Samuels) and Scary (Leah Mei Gold).

What brings this thrilling journey more to life is the multi-camera sitcom approach to the production of this adaptation.

Pretty Freekin Scary takes a fun approach to life after death as we see Pretty and Scary take classes in the living world - something they miss out on in the Underworld. Coming from the fame of Fast and Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, Eliana Su’a plays the feisty Frankie aka "Freekin" who has the worst task in the world - to adapt to the living world as someone who is already dead.

Frankie's life is made more challenging by her unique position in her school, which should make for interesting viewing. Currently, in its last stages of post-production, this offbeat comedy was filmed in California, USA.

This series delves into a suspenseful journey filled with shocking revelations in a peaceful community. The theme of fear, paranoia, secrets, loyalty, and friendship dominates this light-hearted show and aims at the young audience worldwide.
