Based on Chris P. Flesh’s eponymous book series, Disney’s ‘Pretty Freekin Scary’ is a comedy series created by Jason P. Hauser that stars Eliana Su’a as Frankie Ripp, a 14-year-old who leads a picture-perfect life until it gets snatched away from her after she dies in a freak accident. However, upon reaching the underworld, she indulges in a heated debate with the Grim Reaper, who, after much reluctance, allows Frankie to return home but only with her new underworld guardians — Pretty and Scary. Now, Pretty and Scary, along with Frankie, must help the latter deal with her once-dead status in her school and go on about her life as before.
