As Matt and Ross Duffer wrap up the fifth and final season of Stranger Things for Netflix, they've already lined up their next chilling venture. Through their development deal with Netflix, the Duffer brothers are set to produce a new psychological horror series titled "Something Bad Is Going To Happen".

A New Nightmare on the Horizon

Haley Z. Boston, known for her work on Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and Brand New Cherry Flavor, has written the script and will be the showrunner for the upcoming series. She will also serve as an executive producer alongside the Duffer brothers and Hilary Leavitt through their company, Upside Down Pictures. Netflix describes the series as following a bride and groom during the week leading up to their "ill-fated nuptials."

The Duffers were hugely positive about the script:

We were knocked flat when we first read Haley's script. She is a major new talent with a singular voice—her writing 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.

Now we're hyped.

More Projects From The Duffer Brothers To Follow

Beyond Something Bad Is Going To Happen, the Duffer brothers are also busy with multiple other projects for Netflix. They are set to produce The Boroughs, which is expected to start shooting later this year, and a new live-action adaptation of the manga and anime series Death Note. We are hopeful this adaptation will fare better than the previous live-action film.

As we eagerly anticipate the release of Something Bad Is Going To Happen, the Duffers continue to make waves with the final season of Stranger Thingsand the Olivier Award-winning West End production Stranger Things: The First Shadow. With the launch of Upside Down Pictures in 2022, the Duffer brothers and Hilary Leavitt have positioned themselves as key players in the world of thrilling, atmospheric storytelling. Stay tuned for more updates as these spine-tingling projects unfold.
