According to Tudum by Netflix, the streamer has released teaser for The Duffer Brothers‘ next Netflix series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. The eight-episode horror series is created and will be showrun by genre writer Haley Z. Boston (Beach Logs Kill, Hunters), Matt and Ross Duffer (Stranger Things, We All Fall Down), and executive produced via their Upside Down Productions company.
Below is the teaser trailer for the series.
As per Tudum, the series follows Rachel and Nicky in the lead-up to their wedding. Boston puts it, the tone and visuals fall somewhere between Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby — with threads of humor, absurdity, tension, and paranoia. She also pulled inspiration from her own parents, who have a decades-long, loving marriage.
“When I was a kid, my mom said to me, ‘You just need to make sure you don’t marry the wrong person,’ ” Boston tells Tudum. “The show is about the fear of marrying the wrong person.” Something Very Bad grapples with the idea of soulmates and Boston’s own perplexity around finding the “right” person. “I’ve been to weddings where people say in their vows, ‘I never once had a doubt,’ ” Boston explains. “I hear that, and I’m like, ‘That’s crazy. What do you mean?’ ”
In the Something Very Bad writers’ room, Boston found herself discussing those very themes. “I had a team of writers, and I got their perspective on marriage and commitment,” she shares via Tudum. “I had a married couple in the writers’ room, and it was very interesting to hear their stories.”
According to Tudum, the cast of the series includes Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & The Six, The Night Manager) as Rachel, Adam DiMarco (The White Lotus, Overcompensating) as Nicky, Jennifer Jason Leigh (Fargo, Annihilation) as Victoria, Ted Levine (Monk, Big Sky) as Boris, Gus Birney (Shining Vale, The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window) as Portia, Jeff Wilbusch (Unorthodox, Oslo) as Jules, Karla Crome (The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, Lazarus) as Nell, Sawyer Fraser (The Good Doctor) as Jude and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness).
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen will air on Netflix on March 26.
