YouTube user Netflix / Noelle Devoe
From the mind of horror movie aficionado Guillermo del Toro comes Netflix’s new anthology horror series “Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet Of Curiosities” – and we can hardly wait for it to hit the streamer. The series will mark the first release coming out of the multiyear deal inked between the streamer and the Oscar-winning filmmaker, with the reimagined “Pinocchio” hitting the streamer in December 2022. The “Nightmare Alley” director has developed two of the episodes based on his original horror stories and invited a top-notch team of creatives to round out the anthology.
The series has brought on board a selection of seasoned writers and directors with notable horror-thriller projects under their belt. Ana Lily Amirpour (“A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night”), Jennifer Kent (“The Babadook”), Panos Cosmatos (“Mandy”), Vincenzo Natali (“Cube”), and more are working to bring the haunting stories to life. Read on to learn everything about the hotly anticipated addition to Netflix’s horror library, including the cast, trailer, and premiere date.

What Is “Cabinet Of Curiosities” About?
The upcoming horror series will feature eight “genre-defying stories meant to challenge our traditional notions of horror,” per Netflix. “From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, these eight equally sophisticated and sinister tales will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by Del Toro.”

“Cabinet Of Curiosities” Release Date
While a premiere date hasn’t yet been set, Netflix announced that “Cabinet Of Curiosities” is set to drop in the latter half of 2022. That means you can probably expect the anthology to join the slate of horror-thriller titles arriving on the streamer in October to launch the Halloween season.
