Cabinet of Curiosities: Andrew Lincoln and Demetrius Grosse, first look
By Renee Hansen
This Halloween, Andrew Lincoln, known in The Walking Dead universe for his portrayal of Rick Grimes, will star in a new anthology series that will air as part of the Netflix & Chills Halloween Event. Demetrius Grosse, who portrayed twins Josiah & Emile LaRoux, in Fear the Walking Dead, will also star in a different episode than Lincoln. Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities is a collection of eight stories that will challenge what people traditionally think of as horror.
In the video, del Toro explains that this series is something he has always wanted to make. Deadline has reported that this highly anticipated series will release two episodes daily for four days beginning on October 25.
Each episode of Cabinet of Curiosities gave creative freedom to the director of the story allowing each one to tell isn’t own tale, whether it be something “from outer space, supernatural lore, or simply within our minds.”
Below is the first look video with behind the scene peeks at what looks like a fantastic new series.
