Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen is one of the new big shows on Netflix.
In the series, which stars Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco, a bride has a feeling that something horrifying will happen at her wedding — and the closer to the altar she gets, the worse it becomes.
Creator Haley Z. Boston recently spoke out regarding the show’s finale, and whether a second season could be in the works.

During a conversation with THR, the creator addressed how the season ended, as Rachel must survive a curse that has been placed on her family.
“The way to stop the curse is to believe the person you are marrying is your soulmate, which is easier said than done. Of course, you can’t fake belief. So ultimately, it’s a representation of doubt and the antidote is belief, and that’s the journey Rachel goes on,” she said.
In the end, Rachel’s groom, Nicky, reveals his true self and she realizes he’s not her soulmate. The curse moves on to his family, and Rachel dies before being resurrected as a “witness” who must live eternally and watch the curse unravel.
“From an emotional standpoint, the show is really a breakup story. Rachel’s death was a representation of the death of the relationship — the death of that version of herself. In order to move on and drive out of there free, she needed to be reborn and given a second chance, because he took away her chance. That was the reason behind wanting her to leave. I think it’s a hopeful story. You might think this is a takedown of romance, but it’s not.”
She also confirmed the other family members are truly dead: “Yes. They’re dead. They made the sin of marrying someone who they didn’t believe was their soulmate. The death of the soul.”
And as for a potential Season 2?
“The series was conceived as a limited [series]. I like that there’s an open-endedness for Rachel, and that there’s hope for her,” she said.
“She is immortal now and tied to this curse still, so I think Rachel probably would try to stop the curse somehow. Or if not, then she would be a better witness than her witness was, and she would warn people a little more and maybe stop them all from getting locked into this.”
“But the show is so personal to me and based on my own fear [about marrying the wrong person], so I think if I if I were to continue, I would need to figure out what the next big fear is. I think we’re done with the wedding thing. I think it’s another existential fear,” the show’s creator added.
When asked if she might be interested in keeping Rachel for a Season 2, she teased: “Perhaps!”
