Rupert Grint Joins the Cast of Netflix Anthology Series GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES
Rupert Grint, best known for playing Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, as well as his recent roles on the two series Snatch and Servant, is now joining the cast of the Netflix anthology series, Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
He joins a cast that includes Essie Davis, Luke Roberts, Andrew Lincoln, F. Murray Abraham, Glynn Turman, Ben Barnes, Elpidia Carrillo, Hannah Galway, Crispin Glover, Demetrius Grosse, David Hewlett, Tim Blake Nelson, Sebastian Roché and Peter Weller. Panos Cosmatos, Jennifer Kent and Vincenzo Natali will write and direct single episodes of the series, which Del Toro will exec produce and act as co-showrunner.
“Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities is a collection of live-action stories that Netflix says is meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror. From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, the eight sinister tales — including two original works by del Toro — will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by the Shape of Water filmmaker.”
Deadline reports that “Grint has been on del Toro’s radar ever since his role in Apple’s Servant, where the director personally pointed out on social media how much he loved Grint and thought he nearly stole the series with his role.”
That’s pretty awesome. I’m glad that Grint is getting noticed for his acting talent, and that he’s getting more roles, because I really enjoy watching him on the screen.
Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities is set to hit Netflix in 2022.
