Netflix has announced a new horror series titled ‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen,’ with ‘Stranger Things’ creators, the Duffer brothers, serving as executive producers, according to Variety report.
Created by Haley Z. Boston, the series is described as “an atmospheric horror series set at a wedding, following a bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials. That’s not a spoiler – just read the title…” Boston will also serve as the showrunner and executive producer.
The Duffer brothers, along with Hilary Leavitt, will executive produce through Upside Down Pictures. Andrea Sperling is also an executive producer. Both Sperling and Upside Down Pictures have overall deals with Netflix.
“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,” said Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series (US & Canada) for Netflix.
Expressing excitement, the Duffers said, “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’s previous work includes writing for the Netflix series ‘Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities’ and ‘Brand New Cherry Flavor,’ as well as the Amazon series ‘Hunters.’ Her directorial debut, the short film ‘Beach Logs Kill,’ premiered at SXSW earlier this year. She is represented by Kaplan / Perrone Entertainment and Yorn Levine Barnes.
This announcement follows Netflix’s first look at the final season of ‘Stranger Things,’ which is currently halfway through production and expected to premiere in 2025. Additionally, the Duffers are working on multiple projects under their overall deal with Netflix, including the series ‘The Boroughs,’ a ‘Stranger Things’ spinoff, and a live-action adaptation of ‘Death Note.’
