While Stranger Things, Netflix’s breakout sensation is nearing its final days, many wondered what Matt and Rose Duffer will be up to in the future.

New horror series on Netflix with the Stranger Things creator

Netflix, in collaboration with the creators of Stranger Things, Matt and Ross Duffer, is set to launch a new horror series alongside Haley Z. Boston. The series is currently titled Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has officially approved this which hails from Haley Z. Boston. Described as an "atmospheric horror series set at a wedding," it follows a bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials. 

The title itself hints at the ominous events to come. Boston will take on the role of showrunner, with Matt and Ross Duffer producing through their company, Upside Down Pictures, along with Hilary Leavitt.

In a statement, Matt and Ross Duffer expressed their enthusiasm, saying, “We were knocked flat when we first read Haley’s script.” They described her as a significant new talent with a distinctive voice, praising her writing as twisted, terrifying, and humorous. They feel fortunate to produce her first show and are eager to share her vision with the world.

Alongside this, they have several other projects lined up with the streaming giant, such as the series The Boroughs, which will start production this fall, and a live-action adaptation of the manga series Death Note.

Based on the projects that they will be executive producing, it seems like the Duffers are sticking to the genre and tone of Stranger Things.
