The 2016 Netflix debut of Stranger Things quickly made its creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, household names. The show, known for its 1980s setting and science fiction themes, became a massive hit, and its recent finale left many viewers disappointed. Fortunately, the Duffer Brothers are continuing their work with Netflix. Just three months after Stranger Things concluded its five-season run, they’ve released a new eight-episode horror series.
Fans of the Duffer Brothers (creators of Stranger Things) can now watch their new horror miniseries, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, on Netflix. All eight episodes became available on March 26th. Starring Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco, the series follows Rachel and Nicky as they prepare for their wedding. However, Rachel becomes increasingly disturbed while visiting Nicky’s remote family home, turning what should be a happy time into a terrifying ordeal. This psychological horror builds tension slowly and promises a chilling experience.
Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen Is a Solid Stranger Things Follow-up for the Duffer Brothers
It’s tough to follow a hit like Stranger Things, but Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is receiving positive reviews. Critics are calling it a suspenseful and terrifying show, noting that while it moves away from the familiar setting and 1980s style of Stranger Things, it still delivers the kind of high-stakes storytelling fans of the Duffer Brothers have come to expect. Currently, all three critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are positive, with one reviewer from Heaven of Horror saying the show is so good, you’ll wish you could experience it for the first time again.
The new series, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, focuses on creating a sense of unease and dread rather than relying on typical horror tropes. It’s a tense, intimate story about a significant event that takes a dark turn. Critics have compared it to classics like Rosemary’s Baby and Carrie, and suggest fans of The Haunting of Hill House will likely enjoy its unsettling and unpredictable nature. The show builds a truly creepy atmosphere with strong performances and some genuinely disturbing body horror, quickly escalating into a claustrophobic and sinister experience.
Will There Be a Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen Season 2?
Despite positive reviews, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen appears to be intended as a single season. The story of Rachel and Nicky is fully resolved within the eight episodes. However, creator Lauren Boston hasn’t ruled out a second season, which could shift the show’s format to an anthology series. Boston explained that a continuation would involve a completely new, terrifying premise, focusing on a different existential fear.
