Griffin discussed the relationship in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published September 8, while promoting her upcoming stand-up tour, New Face, New Tour.

The interview followed Parton’s death on August 25 at age 80 after what her family described as a brief battle with cancer.

According to Griffin, Parton told her privately on two occasions that she appreciated Griffin’s willingness to say things that Parton herself might hesitate to say publicly.

Griffin quoted Parton as calling her “a funny bitch” and saying, “You say the stuff I’m afraid to say, but I want to hear you say it.”

The remarks were presented by Entertainment Weekly as Griffin’s recollection of private conversations, rather than as statements independently confirmed by Parton or her representatives.

The invitation to appear on Bravo

Griffin said she had hoped Parton would make a guest appearance on My Life on the D-List, the series that followed Griffin’s professional and personal life and concluded after six seasons in 2010.

She said she was reluctant to ask Parton directly and considered approaching the singer through their mutual attorney.

Griffin said Parton ultimately declined because Griffin’s material was more outrageous than what some of Parton’s fans might expect from the country singer.

Despite turning down the appearance, Parton allegedly sent Griffin a letter expressing support for the program and its host.

Griffin recalled the letter as saying, “I wish I could do it. I watch it all the time. Keep doing your thing. You’re so good at what you do.”

Griffin described the letter as unusually meaningful because Parton was honest about liking the show while also explaining why she would not participate.

No image of the letter or independent confirmation of its contents was included in the Entertainment Weekly report.

Griffin’s tribute after Parton’s death

Griffin had also referred to Parton in a post on Threads after the singer’s death.

In that post, Griffin said Parton had privately encouraged her not to retreat from her style of comedy and had urged her to continue confronting people she considered dishonest.

Griffin also praised Parton’s laugh and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to have spoken with her.

The account was one of many personal tributes that followed Parton’s death, which prompted messages from entertainers, public figures and fans internationally.

Reuters described Parton as a singer, songwriter and actress whose career and public image had reached audiences around the world over nearly six decades.

The BBC reported that Parton’s family held a private funeral in Nashville and that a tribute concert took place at the Grand Ole Opry House.

The Guardian reported that Parton died at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones, citing a statement from her team.

Contrasting public personas

Griffin and Parton built markedly different public identities, although Griffin’s account suggests that Parton privately appreciated the comedian’s provocative approach.

Griffin became widely known for confrontational celebrity satire and for the reality series that documented her effort to advance her career in entertainment.

Parton, by contrast, was publicly associated with country music, songwriting, acting, philanthropy and businesses including Dollywood.

The reported letter therefore represents Griffin’s description of a private exchange between two entertainers whose public styles were different but whose professional relationship included mutual recognition.

Parton’s reported support also centered on Griffin’s creative independence rather than on a joint project that was ultimately completed.

Tour context

Griffin’s comments were made while she was preparing to take New Face, New Tour on the road.

The tour was scheduled to begin September 11 in Tacoma, Washington.

The timing placed Griffin’s recollections within the broader period of mourning and remembrance following Parton’s death.

For Griffin, the story was not about a public collaboration but about encouragement that she says Parton offered away from cameras and audiences.

Her account adds a small, personal dimension to the public record of Parton’s career: a claim that the singer followed Griffin’s work, valued its candor and privately encouraged her to continue.

Because the central details come from Griffin’s own recollection, the letter and private conversations should be understood as reported personal testimony rather than independently verified documentation.

Jones Says Departure Was Not His Choice

In a statement published on social media on September 8, Jones said he had not wanted to leave the programme and continued to value both the show and its audience.

“To be clear, I did not want to leave The Voice as I love the show and really appreciate the audience,” Jones wrote.

Jones said ITV had made the decision earlier but had only informed him recently.

According to Jones, the initial reason given to him was “a financial difficulty with insurance.”

Jones also said that ITV had subsequently referred publicly to a desire to refresh the programme with a new coaching line-up.

The singer said ITV had offered him a substantially reduced position in which he would appear on the show without participating as a coach from the beginning.

“They are offering a much-reduced role where I would make an appearance but without being actually involved from the start, and I’m not thrilled about that,” Jones said.

Jones concluded his statement by writing: “There’s never a good time to fire an 86-year-old who’s still pretty good at his job.”

ITV Confirms Change While Leaving Door Open

ITV confirmed that Jones would not be a full-time coach on series 15, but its statement stopped short of describing the decision as a permanent separation.

“We have loved working with Sir Tom Jones over the past nine years on The Voice UK,” an ITV spokesperson said.

“While he will no longer be a full-time coach on series 15, we continue to talk to Sir Tom and his team about his involvement in the next series,” the spokesperson added.

ITV did not publicly confirm the precise insurance issue described by Jones in the statements reviewed for this article.

Reports have described ITV’s plans as a broader refresh of the coaching panel, but the broadcaster had not announced a complete replacement line-up in the available statements.

The Sun reported that Jones would not have his own chair or team of contestants in the next series, while Radio Times reported that ITV was considering another way to keep him associated with the programme.

The identity of any replacement coach, and whether Jones will accept a reduced role, remained unconfirmed as of September 9.

A Long Association With The Voice UK

Jones joined The Voice UK when the programme launched in 2012 and has been a recurring member of its coaching panel across its BBC and ITV eras.

He missed one series in 2016 before returning the following year, according to Radio Times.

The current fourteenth series began broadcasting on August 22, with Jones appearing alongside will.i.am, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Kelly Rowland on the coaching panel.

The programme is scheduled to continue on ITV1 and ITVX during September.

The news of Jones’s planned change comes while the current series is still airing, meaning his final appearances as a full-time coach have not yet concluded.

Jones also featured in a recent episode performance of Leonard Cohen’s “Tower of Song,” which was reported to have prompted an emotional response from fellow coaches and the studio audience.

What Happens Next

For now, ITV’s position is that Jones will not serve as a full-time coach on series 15, while talks about a possible alternative appearance remain open.

Jones’s statement makes clear that he regards the proposed arrangement as materially different from his established role, which included a dedicated chair and responsibility for a team of contestants.

The disagreement therefore concerns both the end of Jones’s full-time coaching position and the explanation for the change, with Jones emphasizing insurance costs and ITV describing a continuing relationship alongside a new series format.

No final announcement had been made by September 9 on whether Jones would appear in series 15 or who would occupy his coaching position.

Stewart said she met Kennedy for dinner on the Monday before the Friday in July 1999 when he died.

According to Stewart, Kennedy contacted her because he wanted advice about George, the political and lifestyle magazine he had founded.

At the time, Stewart was running Martha Stewart Living magazine, and she agreed to discuss the matter with him.

The co-pilot warning

During the dinner, Stewart asked Kennedy about his plans for the coming weekend.

Kennedy told her that he, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Lauren Bessette were traveling to Martha’s Vineyard for a wedding.

When Stewart asked who would pilot the aircraft, Kennedy said that he would fly.

Stewart then asked whether he had a co-pilot, recounting Kennedy’s response as: “No, I don’t need a co-pilot.”

Stewart said she has repeatedly thought about the exchange and wished she had pressed Kennedy more strongly to arrange for a co-pilot.

“I feel sorry,” Stewart said while reflecting on the conversation.

The television appearance

Stewart shared the story while speaking with makeup artist Daisyye during the RHONY premiere.

The conversation arose as Stewart and Daisy discussed Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, an FX drama about Kennedy and Bessette-Kennedy.

The series launched on FX on February 12, 2026, according to the Reuters report.

The Real Housewives of New York City season premiere aired on September 8, 2026, on Bravo, with episodes available to stream the following day on Peacock.

Entertainment Weekly separately reported that the sixteenth season premiered on September 8 and that Stewart appeared in the season’s promotional material as a guest connected to the show’s story.

What is established about the crash

Kennedy, who was 38, died in a plane crash in July 1999 along with his wife and her sister.

The aircraft crashed into the Atlantic Ocean after Kennedy departed for Martha’s Vineyard, according to the reports reviewed for this article.

The accounts agree that Kennedy was piloting the single-engine aircraft and that Bessette-Kennedy and Lauren Bessette were aboard.

Stewart’s televised recollection is a personal account of a conversation that occurred before the crash; it does not establish that her warning caused, prevented or could have predicted the accident.

The renewed attention reflects the release of the drama and Stewart’s decision to recount a private interaction more than two decades after Kennedy’s death.

None of the reports reviewed provides new evidence that changes the established account of the crash or attributes a cause to Stewart’s conversation.

The actors, who play college love interests Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, appeared side by side in a message shared through the official Off Campus social-media account.

Cameli thanked viewers for supporting the first season and said the cast had been “overwhelmed by the response.”

Bright then said, “We’re back filming season 2 right now,” adding that she and Cameli could not wait for audiences to see what was coming and that it would be “worth the wait.”

The pair ended the short video by blowing kisses toward the camera.

The appearance was reported by multiple entertainment outlets as a response to online speculation about the actors’ relationship, although Bright and Cameli did not directly discuss or confirm any alleged disagreement.

How the Speculation Began

The speculation followed reports that Cameli had archived or removed several Instagram posts connected to Off Campus, including images in which he appeared with Bright during the show’s promotional campaign.

The archived material reportedly included photographs associated with appearances on The Today Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as other promotional images from the series.

The changes prompted discussion among fans on social-media platforms, but neither actor publicly identified a reason for the posts being archived.

Coverage of the episode has emphasized that the existence of archived posts does not establish that a personal or professional conflict occurred.

Mid-Day reported that there had been no confirmation of a disagreement between Bright and Cameli.

The outlet also reported that Bright had shared recent photographs featuring Cameli, while the two actors continued to follow each other on Instagram.

Those details provide context for the renewed attention surrounding the September 8 video, but they do not independently verify the nature of the actors’ private relationship.

Production and the Series

The September 8 announcement confirms that Bright and Cameli remain involved in the second season of Off Campus.

The first season established Bright’s Hannah Wells and Cameli’s Garrett Graham as the central college romance at the heart of the series.

The show is a Prime Video adaptation associated with the Off-Campus book series and is presented as a young-adult romantic drama.

Reports from Vancouver production coverage have stated that filming for the second season has been taking place in the city and is scheduled to continue through September.

The September 8 video was therefore also a production update: it provided confirmation from two principal cast members while filming was still in progress.

Neither the video nor the cited reports supplied a confirmed release date for the second season.

What the Actors Actually Said

The actors’ comments focused on audience support and the continuation of the series rather than on the rumors circulating online.

Cameli’s message thanked viewers for making the first season successful, while Bright’s message confirmed that production had resumed or was continuing for season two.

The video did not contain a denial of a feud, an explanation for the removed posts, or a description of any private disagreement.

Accordingly, the verifiable development is that Bright and Cameli appeared together publicly, promoted the series, and confirmed that season-two filming was underway.

The available reporting does not establish that the actors had ended a friendship, disrupted production, or experienced a confirmed professional conflict.

The episode illustrates the limits of interpreting changes to public social-media feeds as evidence of events taking place behind the scenes.

For now, the clearest update from Bright and Cameli is that they are filming Off Campus Season 2 and intend for audiences to see the completed season.

The subject appears in promotional material for the show’s 16th season, which premieres Tuesday, September 8, on Bravo.

In the trailer, Glassman says, “I’m in a lavender marriage,” before adding, “I sleep with women intimately as well.”

The trailer also shows cast members asking whether Glassman’s husband is aware of the arrangement, although the promotional clip does not provide a complete answer.

What Glassman has said about her husband

In an interview published by Bravo, Glassman said she and her husband have known each other since he was 12 years old.

She said they were neighbors on Martha’s Vineyard and met at sailing camp.

Glassman has not publicly disclosed her husband’s name.

She told Bravo that he declined to participate in the program because he was unwilling to compromise and did not want to damage his family’s legacy.

Glassman described him as a descendant of the “first Jewish settlers on Martha’s Vineyard.”

She also said that he owns a “really big business” on Martha’s Vineyard, but she did not identify the company or provide financial details.

The couple divides their time between New York City and Martha’s Vineyard, according to Glassman’s account.

She has not publicly stated when or where they married.

Meaning of “lavender marriage”

“Lavender marriage” is generally used to describe a marriage between a man and a woman in which one or both spouses are LGBTQ+ people, often in circumstances where the relationship serves social, professional or family expectations.

The term has historical associations with periods when same-sex relationships were criminalized or heavily stigmatized and heterosexual marriage could provide social protection or conceal a person’s LGBTQ+ identity.

Glassman’s public comments do not establish whether her husband identifies as LGBTQ+, nor do they indicate that the marriage was entered into to conceal either partner’s identity.

The available reporting establishes that Glassman uses the term herself and has described intimate relationships with women, but it does not provide further information about her sexual orientation or gender identity.

A storyline on RHONY

Glassman joins the season 16 cast alongside returning cast members Carole Radziwill, Sai De Silva, Erin Lichy and Jessel Taank, as well as newcomers Erika Hammond and Daisy Toye.

Bravo has identified Glassman as a public-relations professional.

The network’s season preview says Glassman’s marriage will be part of the discussion among the cast, while her husband remains off camera.

The show is scheduled to premiere at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Bravo, with episodes available to stream on Peacock the following day.

The coverage places Glassman’s disclosure within reality television rather than presenting it as a broader announcement about LGBTQ+ relationships or marriage.

What viewers will learn about the couple beyond Glassman’s existing comments remains dependent on the season’s episodes and any further statements she chooses to make publicly.

Pattinson spoke during the Venice Film Festival, where Primetime had its world premiere. The film is directed by Lance Oppenheim and dramatizes Hansen’s work on NBC’s To Catch a Predator, a program that used decoys, hidden cameras and televised confrontations involving adults suspected of attempting to meet minors online.

Asked about Hansen’s concerns, Pattinson said, “Obviously, I hope he likes the movie.”

Pattinson also said he hoped the impact Hansen’s television persona had on viewers and people involved in the subject would be understood as “some kind of compliment” to Hansen.

“I think the more you watch the show, there’s something magnetic about his presence,” Pattinson said, according to USA Today.

Hansen’s Objections to the Film

Hansen had criticized aspects of Pattinson’s portrayal before the Venice premiere.

In comments reported by Variety, Hansen said Pattinson had practiced his mannerisms and described the performance as “overly dramatic,” while acknowledging that the trailer showed “a pretty good imitation.”

Hansen also said the film’s fictionalized material included statements and actions he did not recognize as his own. “He’s saying things I never said and doing things I never did, and that’s not who I am,” Hansen said, according to the same report.

Hansen emphasized that Primetime is a work of fiction based on real-life events. He said his family had a more favorable view of Pattinson’s imitation than he did.

Hansen had also questioned the decision to use his name and the names of people connected to him in a commercial film. Deadline reported that Hansen had received legal advice suggesting he might have a viable case, although he had not announced a lawsuit.

A Disputed Private Screening

The disagreement intensified after a proposed private screening of Primetime for Hansen.

Variety reported that Hansen went to A24’s offices to view the film before its Venice premiere but did not complete the screening. Hansen said he objected to signing a nondisclosure agreement because he believed its terms could affect his rights.

As a result, Hansen said he had not seen the completed film before its public festival presentation. His public comments about the movie therefore focused on promotional material and information he had received rather than on a complete viewing.

In an interview reported by Deadline, Hansen said he planned to watch the film before deciding whether he liked it or considered it excessively dramatized. He also questioned whether his name was being used because it could help promote a commercial entertainment project.

The Film’s Subject and Approach

*Primetime* follows Hansen during the mid-2000s, when To Catch a Predator became a prominent television program built around hidden-camera stings and on-camera confrontations.

Reuters described the film as an exploration of the boundary between journalism and entertainment. The report said the filmmakers presented the story as an examination of the television industry and the pressures surrounding the production of a high-profile program.

Pattinson is both the film’s lead actor and a producer. Reuters reported that Pattinson had not initially expected to play Hansen, but became more interested in the role as he researched the subject.

The film’s Venice presentation generated strong audience reaction, including a lengthy standing ovation reported by Variety and Deadline.

That festival response reflects the reception at the premiere and does not resolve Hansen’s objections about the film’s accuracy or the use of his identity. No lawsuit by Hansen was reported in the coverage reviewed for this article.

What Pattinson Said About the Character

Pattinson’s comments indicated that he viewed Hansen’s television presence as central to the film’s creative appeal.

He said he had watched To Catch a Predator when he was younger and that he had not initially considered the effect Hansen’s presence could have on viewers.

Pattinson did not dismiss Hansen’s criticism or announce any change to the film in response to it. Instead, he expressed hope that Hansen would watch the finished work and respond favorably to the filmmakers’ interpretation.

A24 has scheduled Primetime for theatrical release on September 25. Until Hansen sees the completed film and makes any further response, the public dispute remains centered on his concerns about dramatization and Pattinson’s answer that he hopes Hansen ultimately likes the movie.

Glanville, known for appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, discussed the situation in videos shared online during the week of September 6, according to entertainment news reports.

In one video, she showed an IV setup and said that the treatment occupies most of her day.

Page Six reported that Glanville said a nurse visits her home for approximately four hours of treatment, while she administers the remaining IV care herself.

She said the only regular reason she leaves home is to record her podcast.

What Glanville Reported

Glanville said she has become extremely thin, cannot taste food and feels severely unwell.

Parade reported that she also said she must sleep on her back because of the problems affecting her face.

In another video, Glanville pointed to one side of her face and described it as the location of what she believes is the underlying problem.

She used graphic language to express her desperation to remove whatever she believes is causing the symptoms, while also acknowledging that she could not simply cut open her face.

The videos reportedly included ultrasound footage that Glanville characterized as showing something “alive” and “moving” in her face.

Those descriptions reflect Glanville’s interpretation of the footage and are not, by themselves, an independently confirmed medical diagnosis.

Treatment and Medical Claims

Parade reported that Glanville showed herself preparing an infusion of imipenem, an antibiotic, and said the medication runs overnight for approximately 18 hours.

TMZ reported that Glanville separately identified several conditions or infections that she said were part of her medical situation, including highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella, Enterobacter with biofilm, coccidioidomycosis, Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis.

The reports did not include medical records, laboratory results or statements from Glanville’s treating clinicians independently confirming each of those conditions.

Glanville said treatment costs range from approximately $3,300 to $6,000.

She also named Dr. Mark Farber of Sherman Oaks as a physician who reviewed her MRI and helped identify what she believes is wrong, according to TMZ.

Glanville said she was not yet ready to disclose publicly what she understood the MRI to show.

Earlier Facial-Health Reports

The latest updates follow months of public disclosures about facial swelling, disfigurement and efforts to determine the cause.

People reported that Glanville previously said doctors had found a benign tumor in one of the lymph nodes in her face.

A benign tumor is not the same as a cancer diagnosis, but the available reports did not establish that the tumor is responsible for Glanville’s current symptoms.

Earlier in 2026, Glanville also publicly linked her health problems to what she described as a parasite and to ruptured breast implants that had subsequently been removed, according to People.

That account represented Glanville’s reported understanding of her condition rather than a diagnosis independently confirmed in the September coverage.

Public Disclosure and Medical Uncertainty

Glanville’s videos provide a first-person account of the physical and financial burden she says the illness has imposed.

They do not establish a final diagnosis, the cause of the facial symptoms or whether every condition she mentioned is connected.

The reports also did not indicate that Glanville had announced a hospitalization, a confirmed surgical plan or a definitive timeline for recovery.

Because the information comes primarily from Glanville’s own social-media posts as relayed by entertainment outlets, the medical claims should be understood as reported statements rather than verified clinical findings.

As of September 8, Glanville had not publicly shared a definitive diagnosis explaining the condition affecting her face.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday reported in September, Osbourne said she did not realize how thin she had become until she saw a photograph taken during a fitting for the 2026 Grammy Awards.

“I looked like the f---ing Crypt Keeper,” Osbourne said, according to the reports. The Crypt Keeper is a horror character associated with the Tales from the Crypt franchise.

Osbourne also recalled saying, “This is scary. I didn’t know I looked like this,” and added, “My spine — you could see every single bone.”

Grief and the inability to see her own condition

Osbourne said that she had been unable to see her appearance in the same way that other people did because she was experiencing intense emotional pain.

“I couldn’t see what other people saw because I was in so much pain,” she said, according to Entertainment Weekly. “I just saw a broken person.”

She attributed the loss of appetite to the emotional effects of bereavement, telling The Mail on Sunday that a person can be filled with so much pain that hunger does not arise. The published reports do not provide a medical diagnosis or independently verified measurement of Osbourne’s weight loss.

Because Osbourne’s description concerns her personal experience, it does not establish that grief causes the same physical effects for every bereaved person.

The 2026 Grammy Awards

Osbourne attended the 2026 Grammy Awards with members of her family while Ozzy Osbourne was honored in a tribute connected to his musical legacy. Her mother, Sharon Osbourne, and brother, Jack Osbourne, were also present, according to the reports.

Osbourne said she wore a wig to obscure her face because she did not want the appearance of her cheekbones to draw attention to how thin she had become.

She also said that her stylists selected clothing intended not to make her look thinner.

The Grammy appearance took place months after Ozzy Osbourne’s death, which was reported as occurring on July 22, 2025. The reports identify him as Osbourne’s father and as a major figure in heavy-metal music.

Plans for a documentary series

Osbourne said she intends to make a three-part documentary series about grief, mental health and her own experience following her father’s death. She said the project would explain aspects of her experience that the public has not previously seen.

The reports do not identify a broadcaster, streaming service, release date or production company for the proposed series. The project’s format and distribution therefore remain unconfirmed.

Why the comments drew attention

Osbourne’s remarks have received coverage because they connect a highly visible red-carpet appearance with a private period of bereavement and physical change. The account also places her own explanation at the center of discussion about her appearance rather than relying on speculation about her health.

Osbourne’s account does not provide evidence that her weight loss resulted from a diagnosed illness, medication or a specific treatment. It does establish that she described grief as the central factor in her experience and that she regarded her condition at the time as unhealthy.

The recent coverage is based primarily on Osbourne’s interview and does not include a separate medical assessment of her health. Her planned documentary may provide further information, but no additional production details were reported in the available coverage.

Entertainment Weekly reported the casting on September 8 alongside first-look images of Peterson in character. Dread Central separately reported that Peterson, who is widely recognized by horror audiences as Elvira, will appear in the sequel, which is set to premiere on Tubi on October 9. The Futon Critic also listed the announcement among Tubi’s “Terror on Tubi” programming news on the same date.

Peterson will play a witch named Cassandra, a character described as wise and closely connected to ancient magic. According to the character description supplied for the film, Cassandra understands the dark forces threatening Redhaven and the sacrifice that may be required to stop them.

The role places Peterson inside a story built around supernatural danger, young protagonists and a town facing a renewed curse.

A New Curse in Redhaven

“R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead 2” follows Sam, played by Bean Reid, and Becka, played by Adeline Lo, as they attempt to prevent a new Pumpkinhead curse from spreading across Redhaven.

The film is inspired by R.L. Stine’s “The Haunting Hour,” a horror franchise associated with stories aimed at younger audiences. In the sequel’s plot, a student named Evan, who is experiencing bullying at school, discovers a forbidden book.

The book summons pumpkin-headed children connected to past sacrifices, according to the film’s synopsis. Sam and Becka’s apparent hope is Cassandra, who seeks to destroy the book and halt the supernatural threat.

The sequel continues the setting and mythology introduced in the first film. The original movie followed Sam after he moved to Redhaven with his family and his brother Finn disappeared.

In that first story, Sam’s family and other residents no longer remembered Finn’s existence, and Sam worked with Becka and Rusty, a local outcast played by Matty Finochio, to stop a harvest curse.

Peterson and Stine Reunite Through Horror

Peterson said that she and Stine had each spent many years frightening younger audiences, describing her participation in the sequel as a treat and calling Cassandra the right kind of “witchy” role for her.

The casting connects two recognizable figures from different parts of horror and genre entertainment. Peterson became internationally known through the Elvira character, while Stine is identified in the production materials as the creator whose work inspired the film.

Josh Van Houdt, Tubi’s vice president of original scripted content, said the project combines Peterson’s late-night movie presentations with Stine’s novels. Van Houdt described the pairing as nostalgic and new for Tubi audiences.

The statement attributed to Van Houdt presents the film as a meeting of two established horror brands rather than a conventional continuation led only by the characters from the first movie.

Creative Team and Release Plans

Jem Garrard, who made the first “Pumpkinhead” film, wrote and directed the sequel. Bean Reid and Adeline Lo return as Sam and Becka, respectively.

Tubi plans to release the film on October 9 as part of its “Terror on Tubi” lineup. Dread Central independently identified the same October 9 Tubi premiere date in its report on the first-look images.

The film is also scheduled to receive attention at New York Comic Con through a panel on Sunday, October 11. Garrard, designer, drag performer and actor Jimbo, and Tubi chief content officer Adam Lewinson are expected to participate in that panel.

Tubi said the New York Comic Con event would include news about future “R.L. Stine on Tubi” projects.

What the Announcement Establishes

The September 8 announcement establishes Peterson’s casting, her character’s name and supernatural role, the returning young leads, Garrard’s continued involvement, and the film’s planned Tubi release. It does not establish audience figures, distribution outside Tubi, or any confirmed plans for a third installment. No such figures or plans were included in the independent reports reviewed for this article.

For viewers familiar with Elvira, the casting offers a new horror role for Peterson while preserving the performer’s association with supernatural entertainment. For Tubi, the film extends its “R.L. Stine” programming and places a recognizable horror personality at the center of its promotional first look. The sequel’s next major public date is its scheduled October 9 premiere, followed by the New York Comic Con panel on October 11.
