Teaser for Duffer-produced horror series, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, apologizes for itself

How do you apologize for something that hasn’t happened yet? The new teaser for Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen chooses abundance. Executive produced by the Duffer brothers and Baby Reindeer director Weronika Tofilska, the upcoming horror series turns nuptials into nightmares as the 90-second spot teases what Netflix describes as the Rosemary’s Baby of weddings. The teaser, which features friends, well-wishers, and wedding guests all offering many apologies, presumably, for the very bad thing that’s going to happen, is light on plot and heavy on vibes, going for the sharp angles of triangular rooms that give the show a look reminiscent of Robert Eggers. Created by Haley Z. Boston, who wrote several shows for Netflix, including Brand New Cherry Flavor and an episode of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet Of Curiosities, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen stars Camila Morrone, Adam DiMarco, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ted Levine, and Hollywood “It” guy Zlatko Buric.

Here’s the synopsis: 

If Carrie is horror’s version of a girl becoming a woman, and Rosemary’s Baby is the horrific version of a woman becoming a mother, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen is horror’s take on a woman becoming a wife. Rachel (Morrone) is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky (DiMarco), she embarks on a road trip to his family’s vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams. Which really would be so lovely, except … prone to superstition and paranoia, Rachel can’t shake the relentless feeling that something bad is going to happen. Her foreboding doubts, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What makes two people soulmates? And worse — what could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen streams on Netflix on March 26.
