The Duffer brothers, creators of the hit series Stranger Things, wrapped up their story in early 2023, but their collaboration with Netflix has led to new projects. The most recent is Something terrible is about to happen, a psychological thriller and horror series that has captured the audience’s attention since its premiere on March 26, 2023.
A series with a slightly different tone
Starring Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco, the series follows Rachel and Nicky, a couple of fiancés who, one week before their wedding, face an unexpected obstacle. This narrative has resonated with viewers, becoming the number one series on Netflix worldwide and also in Spain, with a notable 86% recommendation from critics, according to data from FlixPatrol.
Something terrible is about to happen consists of eight episodes, each lasting between 40 and 59 minutes. The proposal, created by Haley Z. Boston, has been described as an effective combination of horror and an atmospheric narrative that provokes an intense emotional experience in the viewer. Critics have noted that the thriller skillfully transports the nerves of the newlyweds to the surreal realm of addictive television.
In addition to this project, the Duffer brothers are preparing Tales from ’85, an animated spin-off of Stranger Things set between the second and third seasons of the original series.
