The Walking Dead universe has two representations in Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities anthology series coming to Netflix sometime this year. The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Fear the Walking Dead’s Emile and Josiah LaRoux (Demetrius Grosse) will appear in an episode of this series.
During Netflix’s Geek Week, the streamer released a seriously creepy teaser for the highly anticipated new horror series Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. The series will consist of eight stories, two of which are based on del Toro’s original works. The remaining stories will be written by Michael Shea, HP Lovecraft, Henry Kuttner, Jennifer Kent, and others.
Directors for the episodes are as follows according to IMDB:
1 – Jennifer Kent (The Babadook)
2- David Prior (The Empty Man)
3- Guillermo Navarro (Pan’s Labyrinth)
4- Keith Thomas (The Vigil)
5- Panos Cosmatos (Mandy)
6- Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight)
7- Vincenzo Natali (Splice)
8- Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night)
Cabinet of Curiosities starring Andrew Lincoln and Demetrius Grosse
It’s been nine months since Undead Walking reported that both actors would star in this series. Lincoln had already filmed his episode at that time, which brought an outcry from fans of The Walking Dead, who couldn’t understand why he hadn’t begun filming for the promised Walking Dead movies.
According to IMDB, Lincoln will star in the first episode of the series with Essie Davis and Hannah Galway. There is no posted title for this episode as of the publication of this article.
Grosse will star in the third episode with Tim Blake Nelson, Sebastian Roché and Elpidia Carrillo; again, this episode doesn’t have a published title.
Netflix has yet to announce the release date for the series.
