“We wanted you as the audience to feel the paranoia and the fear that Rachel is feeling,” said Haley Z. Boston, the creator of the new Netflix series, ‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen.’ The show, which premiered on March 26, 2026, delves into the harrowing tale of a young couple, Rachel and Nicky, who are ensnared by a deadly family curse.
The series unfolds as Rachel and Nicky prepare for their wedding, only to discover that their love is intertwined with a gruesome legacy. The curse, originating from a deal made by Rachel’s ancestor with Death, demands that every generation must marry their true soulmate before sunset on their wedding day. Failure to do so results in a horrific demise.
As the wedding progresses, the tension escalates when members of Nicky’s family begin to bleed to death, a direct consequence of the curse. While Nicky initially dismisses the threat as mere superstition, Rachel’s understanding of the danger proves to be pivotal.
In a shocking turn of events, Nicky survives the ordeal, believing wholeheartedly that Rachel is his true soulmate. However, Rachel’s faith wavers, leading to her tragic death during the ceremony. This pivotal moment transforms Rachel into a new Witness, forever condemned to witness the weddings of her lineage.
The series consists of eight gripping episodes, each designed to immerse viewers in the chilling atmosphere of the couple’s plight. The narrative is not just a horror story but a cautionary tale about the importance of choosing the right partner.
In a darkly humorous twist, one character warns, “Don’t waste your time on bad relationships, because you might end up cursed and bleeding to death from every orifice on your body.” This stark reminder underscores the series’ themes of love, fate, and the consequences of one’s choices.
With its unique premise and engaging storytelling, ‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’ aims to captivate audiences while exploring deeper issues of relationships and legacy. The show draws inspiration from a personal anecdote shared by Boston’s mother about the importance of marrying the right person.
As viewers continue to tune in, the series is expected to spark discussions around the implications of love and destiny, making it a significant addition to Netflix’s lineup.
