Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro’s (The Shape of Water) new anthology series “Cabinet of Curiosities” is coming to Netflix.
“From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, the eight sinister tales — including two original works by del Toro — will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by the Shape of Water filmmaker.”
Netflix announced today that the series will premiere this October, launching a special four day, double episode “Netflix & Chills” Halloween event with two new “Cabinet of Curiosities” tales debuting daily until the entire collection of eight stories is released.
“With Cabinet of Curiosities, we set out to showcase the realities existing outside of our normal world: the anomalies and curiosities. We hand-picked and curated a group of stories and storytellers to deliver these tales, whether they come from outer space, supernatural lore, or simply within our minds,” said Guillermo del Toro. “Just in time for Halloween, each of these eight tales is a fantastical peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in.”
“Cabinet of Curiosities” is created and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro, executive produced by Academy Award winner J. Miles Dale (The Shape of Water; Sex/Life), who also serves as co-showrunner; and Gary Ungar. Regina Corrado serves as co-executive producer.
A newly released teaser trailer for “Cabinet of Curiosities” gives us a glimpse at some of the series’ practical monsters and each of the episode’s titles.
“Cabinet of Curiosities” premieres on Netflix on October 25, 2022, just in time for Halloween.
