Netflix’s horror series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen ended, as its title suggests, with something very bad: a wedding bloodbath that left almost all the guests dead.
However, it also ended with the promise of something good: a fresh start for heroine Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone), who survived a family curse and escaped a marriage with the spineless Nicky Cunningham (Adam DiMarco). The curse that plagued the Harkin family for generations has since passed on to the Cunninghams, and the now-immortal Rachel will act as the witness for any of their future weddings. Here’s hoping she has a much less frightening aura than the witness who haunted her family, played by the formidable Zlatko Burić.
By the finale’s end, Rachel’s arc seems fairly complete. But is there a chance Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen will come back for a Season 2?
Has Netflix renewed Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen for Season 2?
So far, no. Netflix has not indicated any plans for a second season of Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. Part of that is by the show’s design: It was originally envisioned as a limited series. However, several miniseries have grown so popular they’ve picked up second seasons. Look at Big Little Lies, or The White Lotus, or even Netflix’s own Beef, now an anthology. Could Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen follow a similar route?
In an interview with TheWrap, series creator Haley Z. Boston noted that the possibility for a Season 2 is there, but that it would look fairly different.
“There is an open thread, but this was so inspired by my own fear that I’m gonna need another existential fear to explore,” Boston told TheWrap. “I think we’re done with the wedding thing.”
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is now streaming on Netflix.
