Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen: Duffer Brothers horror series gets a premiere date, unveils first images
Stranger Things has wrapped up, but we won’t have to wait long to see another series executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, the creators of Stranger Things. The Netflix streaming service has announced that the horror series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is set to premiere on March 26th – and along with that announcement comes the unveiling of a batch of first-look images, which can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Cast and Synopsis
Created by Haley Z. Boston, who previously worked for Netflix as a writer on Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and Brand New Cherry Flavor (and for Prime Video as a writer on Hunters), Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is an atmospheric horror series set at a wedding, following a bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials. That’s not a spoiler – just read the title… It will be interesting to find out just what sort of horrific events are going to end up disrupting this wedding.
Camila Morrone of Daisy Jones & The Six and Adam DiMarco of The White Lotus play the bride and groom. They’re joined in the cast by Jeff Wilbusch (The Calling), Karla Crome (Lazarus), Gus Birney (Shining Vale), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight), Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs), and Sawyer Fraser (The Babysitters Club).
Behind the Scenes
Weronika Tofilska (Baby Reindeer) directed multiple episodes. Axelle Carolyn (The Manor) and Lisa Brühlmann (When We Were Sisters) also directed episodes.
The Duffer brothers (Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer) serve as executive producers alongside Hilary Leavitt through their Upside Down Pictures. Andrea Sperling is another executive producer. Boston serves as an executive producer and is the showrunner. As Deadline notes, it was quite an impressive accomplishment for Boston to be “showrunner of her own passion-project series at the age of 29.”
The Duffers provided the following statement when the project was first announced: “We were knocked flat when we first read Haley’s script. She is a major new talent with a singular voice — her writing is twisted, terrifying, funny, and just… very Haley. We feel so lucky to be producing her first show, and we can’t wait to share her vision with the rest of the world.“ Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s VP, Scripted Series (US & Canada) added: “We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with dream partners Matt, Ross and Hilary to bring this unexpected and spine-tingling story to life through Haley’s uniquely riveting vision.“
