The Grace family stands in awe of their new home in Roku's 'The Spiderwick Chronicles'
The Big Picture It's been a long time coming for fans of The Spiderwick Chronicles, as the series finally makes its long-awaited debut this week. Just under a year ago, the completed series was dropped by Disney+ before thankfully being acquired by the Roku Channel. The series, all eight episodes of which are available to stream starting April 19, is a terrific young adult fantasy adventure that incorporates just enough horror elements to keep things interesting.
Fortunately, for those who are not familiar with the original book series — or those who, like me, read them two decades ago and don't remember much beyond broad strokes — Roku's The Spiderwick Chronicles doesn't rely on any pre-existing knowledge of the story. There are no gaps in the narrative where the writers hope the audience's memory will fill in the blanks.
That more grown-up approach really is the defining trait of the series as a whole. The Grace siblings are all aged up from their book counterparts, and more embedded with their local peers. With older protagonists, too, comes the ability to tell more grown-up stories, and lean harder into the horror side of things which the show embraces with a gleeful enthusiasm — between this and The Last of Us, I am never looking at a mushroom again — and some stunning special effects and make-up work.
