Netflix Opens Guillermo del Toro's "Cabinet of Curiosities" with First Teaser Trailer


Today, Netflix and Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth, Blade 2) have given fans an inside look at his scary and sinister new eight-part anthology series that "attempts to challenge our notions of horror."


Seen below, the "Geeked Week" 2022 teaser includes some previously unannounced talent, revealing that Eric André (Bad Trip), Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Ismael Cruz Córdova (In the Blood), Kate Micucci, and Charlyne Yi appear in the series.


"From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, the eight sinister tales — including two original works by del Toro — will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by the Shape of Water filmmaker."

"This anthology of sinister stories is told by some of today’s most revered horror creators, including the directors of The Babadook, Splice, Mandy, and many more."


Guillermo del Toro's "Cabinet of Curiosities" is created and executive produced by del Toro and executive produced by Academy Award winner J. Miles Dale (The Shape of Water, "Sex/Life"), who also serves as co-showrunner; and Gary Ungar. Regina Corrado serves as co-executive producer.
