Before their transition to Paramount in April, the Duffer Brothers, creators of the hit series Stranger Things, have delivered another project for Netflix: the horror series titled "Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen." Serving as executive producers, the series premiered on March 26 and has already garnered significant attention, both critically and in terms of viewership.

Upon its release, the Haley Z. Boston-created series received generally positive reviews, reflected in an 83% critics' score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Beyond critical acclaim, "Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen" has quickly ascended global streaming charts, with data from FlixPatrol indicating it is currently the most popular show on Netflix worldwide. It has successfully dethroned other new and returning series that previously dominated the platform.

The series delves into the horrors surrounding Rachel Harkin's (Camila Morrone) impending wedding. Rachel, prone to superstition and paranoia, embarks on a road trip with her fiancé, Nicky (Adam DiMarco), to his family's secluded vacation home for an intimate ceremony. However, Rachel cannot shake the persistent feeling that "something bad is going to happen." This foreboding, combined with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, compels her to question the true nature of soulmates and whether anything could be scarier than a lifelong commitment to the wrong person. Netflix itself describes the series as "horror's take on a woman becoming a wife," drawing parallels to iconic films like "Carrie" (a girl becoming a woman) and "Rosemary's Baby" (a woman becoming a mother).

Critics have largely praised the show's execution. Jasneet Singh of Collider lauded "Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen" for transforming the conventional concept of marriage into a terrifying horror experience. Singh's review highlights the series' visually stunning presentation and its effective use of cinematic techniques to narrate a timeless tale where the uncertainty surrounding soulmates takes on a sinister dimension. The show aims to keep audiences in a state of discomfort, whether through relatable interactions or a dizzying blend of "too-wide smiles and palpable fear," ultimately creating a "perfect maelstrom of white and red" where the phrase "until death do us part" assumes a chilling new meaning.

While the series faces potential competition from Jo Nesbo's "Detective Hole," which also premiered on March 26 to strong reviews and is closely trailing in popularity, "Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen" is readily available for global streaming. All episodes are accessible on Netflix, inviting viewers to experience its unique brand of wedding-themed psychological horror.
