Today is Friday the 13th, which means the superstitious believe something very bad is going to happen. Well, something very good just happened: Netflix unveiled the teaser and additional photos for the Duffer Brothers‘ next Netflix series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. It’s basically a full minute of everyone apologizing to each other in an escalating manner.
The eight-episode horror series, created and showrun by genre writer Haley Z. Boston — Matt and Ross Duffer (Stranger Things) executive produce via their Upside Down Productions company — centers around an “ill-fated” couple to be wed. And as the logline astutely points out: “That’s not a spoiler — just read the title.”
Fair.
There’s more.
“If Carrie is horror’s version of a girl becoming a woman, and Rosemary’s Baby is the horrific version of a woman becoming a mother, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is horror’s take on a woman becoming a wife,” the lengthier synopsis reads. “Rachel (Camila Morrone) is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky (Adam DiMarco), she embarks on a road trip to his family’s vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams. Which really would be so lovely, except … prone to superstition and paranoia, Rachel can’t shake the relentless feeling that something bad is going to happen. Her foreboding doubts, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What makes two people soulmates? And worse — what could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?”
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Other series regulars include Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Gus Birney, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ted Levine and Sawyer Fraser. Weronika Tofilska will direct and executive produce; Axelle Carolyn and Lisa Brühlmann also direct a few of the show’s eight episodes. Hilary Leavitt and Andrea Sperling also executive produce.
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen premieres March 26 on Netflix.
