Netflix has released first-look images from Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, an upcoming horror limited series from Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer. The series marks their first non-Stranger Things project for Netflix before their four-year deal with Paramount begins in April 2026.
The series, produced under the Duffer Brothers’ Upside Down Pictures, is the first of three new projects from the company, alongside The Boroughs and Stranger Things: Tales from ’85. It is described by Netflix as an atmospheric horror story.
Showrunner Haley Z. Boston leads the project. The series stars Camila Morrone as Rachel, who travels with her fiancé Nicky, played by Adam DiMarco, to his family’s secluded vacation home five days before their wedding. Jennifer Jason Leigh also appears, alongside Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Gus Birney, Ted Levine, and Sawyer Fraser.
Each episode represents a single day leading up to the ceremony, showing Rachel’s growing unease as strange and unsettling events begin to unfold.
The series is directed by Weronika Tofilska, Axelle Carolyn, and Lisa Brühlmann, with the Duffer Brothers serving as executive producers.
