Netflix Orders Duffer Brothers Horror Show Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen

Netflix has ordered a new series titled Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen. The upcoming psychological horror is created by Haley Z. Boston (Beach Logs Kill), who will also executive produce the series alongside Hilary Leavitt and Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, creatively credited as the Duffer Brothers. 

The Duffer Brothers and Leavitt will executive produce the series via Upside Down Pictures. They will be joined by Andrea Sperling (Murder at the End of the World) under her overall deal with Netflix. In a statement, the Duffer Brothers praised Boston for her “twisted” and “terrifying” creative vision. 

“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,” said the Duffer Brothers.
