Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen: Duffer Brothers Horror Series Locks Premiere Date

Stranger Things is done, but the Duffers aren’t disappearing. Netflix just planted a flag for their next executive-produced horror series, 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen,' and it’s coming fast: March 26.

What this thing is

The show is created by Haley Z. Boston, who previously wrote on Guillermo del Toro's 'Cabinet of Curiosities,' 'Brand New Cherry Flavor,' and Prime Video's 'Hunters.' This one is an atmospheric horror story set at a wedding, tracking a bride and groom through the week before their very doomed ceremony. Not exactly a spoiler — the title is doing a lot of the heavy lifting there — but the fun will be in how the catastrophe unfolds.

Who is in it

• Camila Morrone ('Daisy Jones & The Six') as the bride
• Adam DiMarco ('The White Lotus') as the groom
• Jeff Wilbusch ('The Calling')
• Karla Crome ('Lazarus')
• Gus Birney ('Shining Vale')
• Jennifer Jason Leigh ('The Hateful Eight')
• Ted Levine ('The Silence of the Lambs')
• Sawyer Fraser ('The Babysitters Club')

Behind the camera

Weronika Tofilska ('Baby Reindeer') directed multiple episodes, with Axelle Carolyn ('The Manor') and Lisa Bruhlmann ('When We Were Sisters') also directing. The series is executive produced by Matt and Ross Duffer alongside Hilary Leavitt through their company Upside Down Pictures, with Andrea Sperling also on board. Boston is not just the creator; she is the showrunner and an executive producer — and she landed that gig at 29, which is a big deal in this business.

'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.'

'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.'

Bottom line: the Duffers are backing a newer voice with a killer premise, the cast is stacked, and the wedding-from-hell setup is ripe for stylish, slow-burn chaos. 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen' premieres March 26 on Netflix.
