Production Getting Ready to Begin on Guillermo del Toro’s Netflix Horror Series “10 After Midnight”

The Strain

Fresh off his Oscar win for The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro has attached himself to so many projects in the past year that it’s honestly become hard to even keep track. And that’s a good problem for all of us to have, we assure you. One of those projects is a horror anthology series for Netflix, which we totally forgot about until Deadline reminded us today.

The series is titled “Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight, and the site reports that Netflix will be filming it in Toronto, as they’ve just chosen the production space.

For both “10 After Midnight” and feature film Let It Snow, Netflix “will lease four sound stages along with office space and support space totaling approximately 164,000 square feet at Cinespace Studios and will also lease four sound stages and adjacent office space comprising a total footprint of approximately 84,580 square feet at Pinewood Toronto Studios.”

Not a major update, mind you, but a fresh reminder that this super cool project is coming soon. “Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight” is set to be a collection of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s personally curated stories, described as both equally sophisticated and horrific. Del Toro will reportedly write and direct certain episodes of the series.

For the other episodes, del Toro will hand-pick top horror writers and new filmmakers.

Disney+ is bringing a mystery-thriller vibe to the Star Wars Universe with upcoming series “The Acolyte,” and a bloody official poster has been unleashed this morning.

Additionally, we’ve learned “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will premiere on June 4. Check out the official art below, which replaces a lightsaber beam with a streak of blood…

Bloody violence in the Star Wars Universe? It’s about time! The poster’s tagline reads, “In an age of light… a darkness rises.” Expect the show’s official trailer tomorrow, March 19.

Joining Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give) are Emmy Award-winner Lee Jung-jae (Squid Game), Manny Jacinto (Nine Perfect Strangers), Dafne Keen (His Dark Materials), Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim), Rebecca Henderson (Inventing Anna), Charlie Barnett (Russian Doll), Dean-Charles Chapman (1917), and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix).

“The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.

A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.

The High Republic saw the Jedi Order at its prime, centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

“The Acolyte” comes from creator, showrunner, and executive producer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll). The executive producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Rayne Roberts and Damian Anderson are producing.
