Netflix has released the teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, a new horror anthology series to be released on the streaming platform. The trailer reveals that the series “from the mind of Guillermo del Toro” will consist of “eight chilling stories” from notable writers and directors. Two of those stories will come from the Nightmare Alley himself. Variety reports that other writers and directors include Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), David Pryor (The Empty Man), Guillermo Navarro (Narcos), Keith Thomas (Firestarter), Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Vincenzo Natali (Cube) and Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night).
Cabinet of Curiosities Shares Eerie Images and a Star-Studded Cast List
The Cabinet of Curiosities teaser is filled with some dark images, including skulls, corpses, spellbook, taxidermy, and a mysterious silhouetted figure, just to name a few. It also promises a star-studded cast, including Ben Barnes, Essie Davis, Crispin Glover, Andrew Lincoln, Eric André, Sofia Boutella, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Rupert Grint, Kate Micucci, and Charlyne Yi. At least a few of these actors are no strangers to the horror genre. Lincoln is best known for his role as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead. And while Grint will always be Ron Weasley in many people’s eyes, he’s also garnered much praise for his role in M. Night Shymalan’s horror series Servant on AppleTV+.
Guillermo del Toro’s Series the Latest Tease From Netflix
Netflix has been in a bit of a slump lately with subscriber losses, but it seems like the horror genre does the streaming service a world of good. Case and point, Stranger Things 4 just broke Netflix’s viewing record. Perhaps this is why we are getting shows such as Wednesday, The Sandman, and now Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. Let’s see if this can help get Netflix back to its golden standard.
