Netflix has opened the door to the Cabinet of Curiosities by debuting the first teaser for the upcoming horror anthology series, which has Guillermo del Toro on board as co-showrunner and curator.
The show will consist of eight separate tales, directed by the likes of Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night) and Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Thirteen).
“With Cabinet of Curiosities, we set out to showcase the realities existing outside of our normal world, the anomalies and curiosities,” said Del Toro in a statement. “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. Each of these eight tales is a fantastical peek inside the cabinet of delights existing underneath the reality we live in.”
The promo reveals each episode title while showcasing some of the show's monsters and the incredible practical FX involved in bringing them to life.
Cabinet of Curiosities has lined up an all-star cast, including the likes of Rupert Grint (Harry Potter), Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), David Hewlett (The Shape of Water), Tim Blake Nelson (Watchmen), Ben Barnes (Shadow and Bone), Crispin Glover (American Gods), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Peter Weller (RoboCop), and Eric André (The Righteous Gemstones).
The first two episodes will stream just in time for Halloween on October 25, with the rest rolling out in pairs each night through October 28.
