Netflix just released the new season two trailer for the upcoming episodes of the family comedy based on the best-selling book series by Ann M. Martin.
The 14-year-old actress stars in the second season of the anthology series as Gabby.
Gabby is a sporty and smiley girl who gets straight A’s, runs on the track team and even works weekends to save money for college. She doesn’t have much of a social life because of her parents’ high standards and her responsibilities, so she often looks to her time with the Midnight Society as an escape from reality.
JJJ spoke to Malia about switching from a more light hearted show, The Baby-Sitters Club, to the horror of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, her most and least favorite parts of the show and more!
“I am most excited for everyone to meet my character Gabby. I feel like a lot of people can relate to her and she can teach a lot of people, especially young girls, many things,” Malia told us. “There’s a lot of moments where Gabby stands up for herself without hesitation, and I feel like that doesn’t happen very often in film. Where a smart young woman stands up for herself and doesn’t back down, and I think for a lot of young girls watching they will be able to take that advice from her and don’t back down!”
Tune in TONIGHT (February 12) to Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Curse of the Shadows at 8pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon!
