Netflix is a bit notorious around these parts for being more than a little snobbish when it comes to our beloved genre. But all of that seems to be on the verge of changing as today we learned the streaming giant has just given the green light to an all-new horror anthology series produced by none other than Guillermo del Toro!
The series is officially called GUILLERMO DEL TORO PRESENTS 10 AFTER MIDNIGHT and marks Netflix’s first original horror anthology series. In this new genre-defining anthology series, acclaimed Academy Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro will present a collection of personally curated stories, that are both equally sophisticated and horrific.
Creator and executive producer del Toro will bring his own visionary style as both a writer and director to certain episodes. In addition, he will handpick a team of the genre’s best writers and filmmakers to bring his selection of stories to life.
With this first live-action series, del Toro and Netflix extend their collaboration, which began with the award-winning animated series TROLLHUNTERS. Del Toro reteams with THE SHAPE OF WATER producer J. Miles Dale, who serves as executive producer, along with Gary Ungar (Exile Entertainment).
