‘Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen’ Plot
Created and written by showrunner Haley Z Boston (Brand New Cherry Flavor), the series is described as an "atmospheric wedding horror." The story unfolds over the single week leading up to Rachel and Nicky’s mid-winter wedding at a secluded family estate in the woods. What begins as a stressful week of nuptial preparations quickly devolves into a nightmare.
As Rachel navigates the eccentricities of her future in-laws, she becomes convinced that an inescapable threat referred to in local lore as the "Sorry Man" is closing in. Drawing inspiration from classic psychological thrillers, the narrative explores the "horror of marrying the wrong person" and the terrifying realisation that one might not truly know their partner.
