The Stranger Things Creators Have A Creepy New Horror Miniseries Streaming On Netflix

Netflix

As nan extremity of "Stranger Things" approached, creators Matt and Ross Duffer yet sewage astir to utilizing their chaotic Netflix clout to nutrient caller bid for nan streamer. Via their Upside Down Productions company, nan Duffer Brothers received a greenlight for 2 shows: nan sci-fi centric "The Boroughs" and nan straight-up scary yarn "Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen." The second is nan first of nan gross and is now disposable to binge connected nan streaming platform. Its trailer promises a creepy riff connected nan in-laws-from-hell scary subgenre, and, judging from reviews frankincense far, it's an effective exploration of marital dread.

Created by up-and-coming writer Haley Z. Boston ("Hunters" and Ana Lily Amipour's installment of "Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities"), "Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen" stars Camilla Morrone (a Primetime Emmy Award nominee for her activity successful "Daisy Jones & nan Six") and Adam DiMarco ("The White Lotus" play 2) arsenic an engaged mates heading to nan groom's family's upstate New York compartment (in, of course, nan dormant of winter). Everything is disconnected from nan start, arsenic Morrone has yet to meet DiMarco's family. Likewise, their travel to nan compartment is laden pinch spooky occurrences that deepen nan foreboding of this horrific rotation connected "Meet nan Parents."

As expected, DiMarco's family proves to beryllium a nightmare. DiMarco's weirdo expert dada (who's a small too into taxonomy) is played by Ted Levine. Meanwhile, his oddball mother is embodied by nan versatile wonderment that is Jennifer Jason Leigh. The wedding is group to return spot wrong a fewer days, and Boston wrings nan fast-approaching nuptials for plentifulness of suspense.

Netflix

"Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen" runs for 8 episodes, and nan script feels for illustration a one-and-done miniseries deal. But if it proves to beryllium a streaming smash for Netflix (and, pinch nan Duffer Brothers' sanction attached, it's apt to do large numbers), you tin conscionable astir guarantee that Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos will request that its creatives fig retired a measurement to widen its narrative. Netflix could moreover move it into an anthology à la Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story."

According to The Hollywood Reporter's Angie Han, Haley Z. Boston's bid is "a amazingly thoughtful, satisfyingly bloody return connected nan impossibility of absolute romanticist certainty." Many of her professional peers work together pinch her (see: nan show's 80 percent captious standing connected Rotten Tomatoes astatine nan clip of writing), so, if this is your benignant of horror, you should perfectly springiness it a whirl. Just make judge you move disconnected each nan lights and tie your curtains wholly unopen since this is yet different dimly lit Netflix offering. I don't cognize why nan streamer hews to this location style, but since it develops movies and shows expecting viewers to person astatine slightest 1 different surface distracting them, visuals apparently return a backmost spot to expository dialogue.

If you tin woody pinch this, excavation connected successful and (hopefully) bask "Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen."
