Roku has released the trailer for the series adaptation of The Spiderwick Chronicles, which they picked up after Disney+ scrapped the series after the first season was fully completed. The fantasy series definitely doesn’t have the high production value of Disney’s Percy Jackson series, but it looks like a show that younger audiences will enjoy.

Here’s the official description of the series: "Helen and her children, 15-year-old fraternal twins Jared and Simon and their sister Mallory move to their ancestral home, Spiderwick. Jared discovers a boggart and realizes that magical creatures are real! The only one to believe him is his great-aunt Lucinda who implores Jared to find the pages of her father's field guide to magical creatures and protect them from the murderous Ogre, Mulgarath."

The series is based on the book series by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, and the series stars Parenthood and Good Girls Revolt actor Joy Bryant will star in the series as Helen alongside previously announced cast members Lyon Daniels, Noah Cottrell, and Christian Slater.

The series was executive produced by Aron Eli Coleite, who also served as showrunner alongside She-Hulk director Kat Coiro.

The series will consist of eight episodes, and it will debut on April 19th.
