The Spiderwick Chronicles is an American fantasy[1] television series loosely based on the book series of the same name by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. The series stars Joy Bryant, Noah Cottrell, Lyon Daniels, Mychala Lee, Jack Dylan Grazer and Christian Slater, and follows the Grace family, who move into their ancestral home and unravel a dark mystery about their great-uncle, who discovered the parallel and secret world of fairies.
The Spiderwick Chronicles consists of eight episodes[2] and premiered on the Roku Channel on April 19, 2024, to mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its visuals and Slater's performance, but some criticism for its writing, pacing, character development and deviations from the source material.
