Trailer released for Netflix series Ju-On: Origins, based on the film

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

JU-ON (a.k.a. THE GRUDGE in the US) is a hugely popular horror franchise from Japan that spawned multiple sequels, multiple US remakes (with one coming out as recently as this year), and even a FREDDY VS. JASON-esque crossover film with Sadako from THE RING.

So it's with that cultural cache that Netflix is betting on a streaming series called JU-ON: ORIGINS, that will – I suppose – deal with the origins of JU-ON. Anyway, here's the official synopsis:

The legendary Japanese horror franchise that has become a smash hit worldwide gets its first drama adaptation. In the Netflix Original Series Ju-On: Origins, the story based on a truth more terrifying than fiction returns.

Can the people haunted by this house escape from its curse? And what kind of grim incident occurred in this cursed house in the past?

Meanwhile, JU-ON: ORIGINS will premiere on the streaming service July 3rd.

So what do you guys think? Excited for more JU-ON? And how crazy is it that there's an actual THE RING VS. THE GRUDGE movie? Either way, sound off below!
