This weekend, March 27–29, 2026, Netflix is releasing several new shows that are expected to be popular, including the premiere of the crime thriller Detective Hole and the return of the true crime series Homicide. Detective Hole, an 8-part psychological thriller, has the potential to become Netflix’s next big hit and could be the most popular new series worldwide this weekend.

Netflix’s New 8-Part Thriller Produced By Stranger Things Creators Just Arrived

I’ve been eagerly awaiting Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, and it’s finally here! This new 8-part series on Netflix is a really creepy psychological horror, and it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. They’re calling it a ‘wedding horror,’ which is such a cool concept – it’s got supernatural stuff happening, and it really digs into all the anxieties that can come with getting married. The story centers on a couple in the days before their wedding, and it all unfolds at this beautiful, secluded estate. I’m already hooked!

The new film, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, shares a similar unsettling feeling with Jordan Peele’s Get Out. When Rachel (Camila Morrone, known from The Night Manager and Daisy Jones & The Six) arrives at her future husband Nicky’s (Adam DiMarco, from The White Lotus and Overcompensating) family estate, she’s immediately overcome with a growing sense of dread. Things get even stranger as Nicky’s mother (Oscar nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh) performs peculiar rituals leading up to the wedding.

Rachel quickly starts to think her worries are real, particularly after learning about a frightening figure called the “Sorry Man” who is rumored to haunt the estate. As she tries to figure out what’s real and what isn’t, Rachel’s sanity will be pushed to its limits. The new Netflix series, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, looks like a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and supernatural horror, and is expected to be a big hit this weekend.

Binge All 8 Episodes Of Netflix’s New Horror Thriller Series This Weekend

Netflix will release all 8 episodes of Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen simultaneously on Thursday, March 26th, making it perfect for a weekend binge. The show is a slow-burn psychological horror, similar in style to M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant. Don’t expect constant thrills; instead, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen focuses on building mystery and suspense gradually.

With only eight episodes and new installments dropping on Thursdays, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen is ideal for a weekend binge. You could easily watch it over two or three nights – either starting on Thursday and finishing Friday, or saving it for a Saturday-Sunday viewing.

Lots of new shows and sporting events are competing for viewers this week, but Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen aims to crack the top 5 – and hopefully the top 3 – globally by Sunday. Because the creators of Stranger Things are also behind this new series, it’s likely to attract many of their existing fans. With its mix of suspenseful psychological thrills and supernatural horror, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen promises to be a captivating binge-watch on Netflix this weekend.
