Netflix Orders Horror Series SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN From STRANGER THINGS' The Duffer Brothers
Netflix has given a series greenlight to a new horror drama series titled Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, from executive producers and Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers and Hilary Leavitt, via their Upside Down Pictures overall deal with Netflix.
The series is created by Haley Z. Boston (Beach Logs Kill), who will serve as executive producer and showrunner of her own passion-project series at the age of 29.
Andrea Sperling (Transparent, Murder at the End of the World) has also been tapped to executive produce via an overall deal she has signed with Netflix.
The series’ official logline reads “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.”
The Duffer Brothers said of the project:
“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.”
Boston is no stranger to Netflix, having previously written on the streamer’s Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and Brand New Cherry Flavor.
Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s VP, Scripted Series (US & Canada), also commented on the project, saying, “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.”
The Duffer Brothers are currently in production on the final season of their Netflix mega hit Stranger Things, which is due to hit next year.
