The Duffer Brothers' next post-Stranger Things project is right around the corner, with Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen officially hitting Netflix on March 26. Check out a new trailer for the wedding-set horror series below:
Created by Haley Z. Boston (Brand New Cherry Flavor, Baby Reindeer), executive produced Matt and Ross Duffer and directed and executive produced by Weronika Tofilska (Baby Reindeer), Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen takes place in the week leading up to a doomed wedding, following the bride and groom. A fuller synopsis reads:
“If CARRIE is horror’s version of a girl becoming a woman, and ROSEMARY’S BABY is the horrific version of a woman becoming a mother, SOMETHING VERY BAD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN is horror’s take on a woman becoming a wife. Rachel [Morrone] is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky [DiMarco], she embarks on a road trip to his family’s vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams. Which really would be so lovely, except…prone to superstition and paranoia, Rachel can’t shake the relentless feeling that something bad is going to happen. Her foreboding doubts, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What makes two people soulmates? And worse—what could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?”
Starring in the atmospheric horror series are Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones and the Six) and Adam DiMarco (The White Lotus, Overcompensating) star, with series regulars Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Gus Birney, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ted Levine and Sawyer Fraser.
Axelle Carolyn (The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Manor) and Lisa Brühlmann (Blue My Mind, Killing Eve) also directed episodes of the first season.
Alongside the Duffers, Hilary Leavitt executive produces for Upside Down Productions, with Andrea Sperling also executive producing.
In a new statement, Boston delves into the link between weddings and horror, something we've been thinking about recently too:
“I love horror. It’s natural to me. It’s the way that I process my own emotions and feelings and my own understanding of the world. Horror allows you to explore taboo feelings and take all of these fears and give them some bite… The week leading up to a wedding is such a ripe comparison to walking the plank. You’re marching toward your death if it’s the wrong choice.”
