Netflix has agreed to a new horror series with Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers as executive producers, continuing the collaboration between both parties. As Stranger Things, Netflix’s hit series, nears its final days, many have been wondering what Matt and Rose Duffer plan to do in the future. And at this time, Netflix has given the green light to a new project with them.

New horror series on Netflix with the Stranger Things creator

Netflix will launch a new horror series in collaboration with Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, along with Haley Z. Boston. The series is currently titled Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has officially approved the series, which comes from Haley Z. Boston. Described as an “atmospheric horror series set at a wedding,” it follows a bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials.

The title itself hints at the ominous events to come. Boston takes on the role of showrunner, Matt and Ross Duffer produce with their company Upside Down Pictures together with Hilary Leavitt.

In a statement, Matt and Ross Duffer expressed their excitement: “We were speechless when we first read Haley’s script.” They called her a significant new talent with a distinctive voice and praised her writing as twisted, terrifying and humorous. They feel lucky to be producing their first show and can’t wait to share their vision with the world.

Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s vice president of scripted series for the U.S. and Canada, expressed similar enthusiasm. He spoke of the thrill of working with Matt, Ross and Hilary again to bring Haley’s unexpected and chilling story to life, highlighting their uniquely compelling vision.

Other upcoming projects from the Duffer Brothers

The Duffer brothers are currently working on the final season of Stranger Things for Netflix. They also have several other projects in the pipeline with the streaming giant, including the series The Boroughs, which begins production in the fall, and a live-action adaptation of the manga series Death Note.

Based on the projects they serve as executive producers on, the Duffers seem to be staying true to the genre and tone of Stranger Things. Their obvious passion for horror, fantasy, and science fiction suggests that their upcoming productions could take a similar turn. It’s even possible that Stranger Things cast members could play a role.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions about Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, including the cast and premiere date, but the Duffers’ involvement makes it a project to keep an eye on.
