AceShowbiz - The creative minds behind Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers, are preparing to transition from Netflix to Paramount this April. However, before their departure, they remain involved with new projects for Netflix, including the horror series Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, where they serve as executive producers. The series, which premiered on March 26, 2026, has quickly gained positive critical reception, holding an 83% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes.

According to data from FlixPatrol, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, created by Haley Z. Boston, is currently the most-watched show on Netflix worldwide. It has surged past several popular new and returning series.

The story centers on Rachel Harkin, played by Camila Morrone, whose impending wedding stirs a growing sense of dread. On the same day as its premiere, another acclaimed show, Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole, also debuted but trails closely behind in viewership.

Netflix describes the series as a fresh take on horror: "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 plot follows Rachel and her fiancé Nicky (played by Adam DiMarco) as they embark on a road trip to his family’s secluded vacation home in a snowy forest, planning an intimate wedding. Yet Rachel’s paranoia and ominous premonitions suggest that something sinister awaits.

Critics have noted that the series takes its time building tension but ultimately delivers a chilling experience. Jasneet Singh of Collider praised Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen for its inventive horror spin on the familiar institution of marriage. Singh highlights the show’s "visually stunning" cinematography and its effective use of camera techniques to evoke dread and discomfort.

In her review, Singh wrote, "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..." She emphasized the series' ability to make viewers uncomfortable through relatable interactions mixed with palpable fear.

All episodes of Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen are currently available for streaming globally on Netflix.
