Horror Series SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN - On Netflix, 26th March

Coming to Netflix this month, SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN is 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.

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 (Camila Morrone) is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky (Adam 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 will launch on Netflix on 26th March
