The brothers’ next project will again be with Netflix, who have green lit a new horror series called Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen from writer Hayley Z. Boston.
The brothers will executive produce the new series, whose log line describes it as “an atmospheric horror series set at a wedding, following a bride and groom in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials. That’s not a spoiler – just read the title…”
Boston has created the series and will also serve as its executive producer and showrunner as per Variety. Other executive producers on the project include Hilary Leavitt and Andrea Sperling.
Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series (US & Canada) for Netflix, said in a statement: “We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with dream partners Matt, Ross and Hilary to bring this unexpected and spine-tingling story to life through Haley’s uniquely riveting vision.”
The Duffer brothers added: “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.”

Earlier this week, a first look at Stranger Things season five was unveiled by Netflix.
The show recently marked the halfway point of production on its final season, and the streamer has now shared a behind-the-scenes clip previewing what’s to come.
In it, we get a showcase of some of the sets, as well as voiceovers of some of the stars reflecting on their years on the show.
“So I started when I was 10,” Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) says. “I’m now turning 20 years old. It feels very weird.”
Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield) adds that they are “savouring every single moment”, while Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair) teases that the “wait will be worth it”.
“Season four was big, season five definitely feels bigger,” Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) further declares, before creators the Duffer Brothers tease that “this is the season fans have been waiting for”.
Filming began on the final season in January this year, having been delayed due to last year’s Hollywood strikes.
Fans can expect eight episodes to wrap up the show’s story, star Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley) recently teasing that they are “making, basically, eight movies”. “The episodes are very long,” she added.
