One of Your Harry Potter Faves Is Starring in Netflix's New Horror Series

From the mind of horror movie aficionado Guillermo del Toro comes Netflix's new anthology horror series "Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities" — and we can hardly wait for it to hit the streamer. The series will mark the first release coming out of the multiyear deal inked between the streamer and the Oscar-winning filmmaker, with the reimagined "Pinocchio" hitting the streamer in December 2022. The "Nightmare Alley" director has developed two of the episodes based on his original horror stories and invited a top-notch team of creatives to round out the anthology.

The series has brought on board a selection of seasoned writers and directors with notable horror-thriller projects under their belt. Ana Lily Amirpour ("A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night"), Jennifer Kent ("The Babadook"), Panos Cosmatos ("Mandy"), Vincenzo Natali ("Cube"), and more are working to bring the haunting stories to life. Read on to learn everything about the hotly anticipated addition to Netflix's horror library, including the cast, trailer, and premiere date.
