Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events

‘At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.’ Many of you who have read Lemony Snicket‘s novels, titled A Series of Unfortunate Eventsor those of you who have watched the movie, which was released in 2004, will be surprised to learn another remake has been made.

Back in November of 2014, Netflix announced its plans to adapt the A Series of Unfortunate Events novels into a new, original TV series. Daniel Handler (that’s the author’s real name) is serving as executive producer for the show. All eight episodes of the show will be released worldwide on Netflix on January 13, 2016 — that’s just three months away!

Who can you expect to star in this peculiar tale?

    • Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf
    • Malina Weissman as Violet Baudelaire
    • Louis Hynes as Klaus Baudelaire
    • John DeSantis as Bald Man
    • Usman Ally as Hook-Handed Man

Are you excited for another spectacular Netflix series? After watching Stranger Things I have high expectations for all that Netflix has to offer. Are you sad it’s only eight episodes? Excited to see another adaptation? I’d love to know! Comment below or tweet me @SohoDoll. And as always, ‘Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another.’ -Lemony Snicket
