Netflix has greenlit a horror series called Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, a project created and showrun by Haley Z. Boston (Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, Brand New Cherry Flavor), who is also executive producing along with Stranger Things creators, Matt and Ross Duffer (pictured above).

“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,” the Duffers said in a statement per Variety. “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.”

The official logline describes the film 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’s installment in Cabinet of Curiosities was writing “The Outside,” which starred Kate Micucci as a woman who starts using a mysterious cream called Alo Glo that transforms her in ways she didn’t expect, all in a desperate attempt to fit in.

We don’t know much about Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen other than… something very bad is going to happen. At a wedding. No news yet on when the series will go into production, much less make its way to Netflix. icon-paragraph-end
