The logline for Something very bad is going to happen describes it as “an atmospheric horror series set at a wedding, following the bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials. This is not a spoiler – just read the title…”

“We were speechless when we first read Haley’s script,” Matt and Ross Duffer said in a statement. “She is a great new talent with a unique voice – her writing style 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.”

The brothers are currently producing the final season of Stranger Things for Netflix and have a handful of other projects with the streamer in the pipeline, including the series The districtswhose production begins in the fall; and a live-action adaptation of the manga series Death notice.

“We are thrilled to once again work with our dream partners Matt, Ross and Hilary to bring this unexpected and thrilling story to life through Haley’s uniquely captivating vision,” added Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series (US and Canada) at Netflix.
