The Duffer Brothers made a name for themselves by creating Netflix's most popular sci-fi horror show, Stranger Things. The series ran for five seasons and concluded late last year, but it had opened more doors for Matt and Ross Duffer.
Under their current deal with Netflix before they depart for Paramount, the duo is involved with several projects, including Stranger Things: Tales from '85, The Boroughs, and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. In the latter, they serve as executive producers on the horror series created by Haley Z. Boston. All episodes of the show premiered on Netflix on March 26, and the duo has another hit on their hands. Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is a critical hit. The series debuted with an 80% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, indicating generally positive reviews. This score was briefly higher than the final season of Stranger Things and closer to the show's overall score of 90%. The rating might rise or fall as new reviews are weighed, but the early signs are encouraging. Collider's Jasneet Singh praised the series for taking a pretty mundane concept of soulmates and elevating it with a horror twist. An excerpt from her review of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen Season 1 explains: "Netflix's Something Very Bad is Going to Happen transfixes the audience with the same dread that haunts the soon-to-be hallowed halls of the Cunningham vacation home. It's such a visually stunning watch that effectively employs all the camera tricks at its disposal to tell a tale as old as time, one where the uncertainty around soulmates takes on a more sinister form. The show will leave you writhing in discomfort at every moment, whether it's because you're cringing at all-too-relatable interactions or are lost in the dizzying kaleidoscope of too-wide smiles and palpable fear. It's the perfect maelstrom of white and red, where"until death do us part" means something very bad indeed."

The series is a mystery-horror that follows a couple in the days leading up to their wedding."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," the show's official logline teases. It adds: "Rachel is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky , 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?" The eight-episode season is now streaming on Netflix globally.
