Guillermo del Toro series “10 After Midnight” set to kill it on Netflix

For Guillermo Del Toro, the clock is ticking: yesterday, it was announced that media giant Netflix ordered Guillermo Del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight, a “personally curated” live-action horror anthology series headed by del Toro. The Academy Award-winning director will serve as the series’ creator and executive producer, but will also write and direct select episodes alongside The Shape of Water producer J. Miles Dale. This is del Toro’s second series with Netflix — his Dreamworks-animated series Trollhunters is now in its third season. Promising “sinister stories, each more horrifying than the next,” this anthology will hopefully be a refreshing addition to the streaming service’s often-scant Horror selection. Details surrounding casting and a release date for the series have yet to be announced, but are “coming soon.”
