Nature shows are likely to have horror baked in. Positive, we watch them to be educated, but in addition for the alarmingly gasp-inducing, uncomfortably emotional moments: killer whales gobbling lovable child seals, livid lions battling one another for supremacy, uncomfortably giant spiders simply being themselves… you understand how it goes. Horror studio Blumhouse is leaning onerous into that concept with Nightmares of Nature, a brand new documentary sequence coming to Netflix.
A joint manufacturing of Blumhouse Tv and Plimsoll Productions, Nightmares of Nature has a Netflix-familiar narrator in Stranger Things‘ Maya Hawke. A press launch teases it as a “pure historical past and horror sequence,” and additional emphasizes the peril by noting “every season follows three animal characters dealing with all of the horrors and monsters nature can throw at them.” Two seasons are arriving quickly, every consisting of three 45-minute episodes.
Right here’s a trailer, adopted by extra particulars concerning the seasons: A Cabin within the Woods (we see what within the Evil Useless you probably did there, Blumhouse) and Misplaced within the Jungle.
Season one, A Cabin within the Woods, premieres September 30 and is “set within the completely haunting world of the North American woods. Our three characters (a soon-to-be-mother mouse, a younger bachelor raccoon, and a froglet who has seen horrible issues) rapidly uncover how scary the woods actually are and discover themselves in quest of sanctuary. They bump into an outdated cabin within the woods, considering it a secure haven, they quickly uncover their nightmares have actually solely simply begun…”
Hopefully, no one will get trapped in a Deadite-infested basement. Then, October 28 brings season two, Misplaced within the Jungle. These episodes are “set deep within the creepy Central American rainforest, a spot with extra artistic methods to die than wherever else on Earth. For our three characters (a younger opossum, a newly hatched iguana, and a feisty leaping spider) the nightmare of staying alive within the jungle escalates quick after they uncover an deserted laboratory deep within the jungle. And earlier than they understand it, misplaced on this unnatural labyrinth, with a brand new monster hiding behind each nook, they’re within the wrestle of their lives to get out earlier than it’s too late…”
I used to be already nervous concerning the spider factor, however an deserted laboratory? That’s by no means good.
What do you consider Nightmares of Nature—intriguing, or a bit bit over-gimmicky? The primary season arrives September 30, adopted by the second on October 28.
