If the phrase Guillermo del Toro Netflix anthology series doesn’t have you saying “HELL YES,” we probably can’t be friends.

But if you’re in that HELL YES camp, read on, because we’ve got a ton of new details about del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. 

(Note: This series was previously announced as 10 After Midnight.)

From macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque or classically creepy, these eight equally sophisticated and sinister tales (including two original works by del Toro) will be brought to life by a team of writers and directors personally chosen by del Toro. 

Today, Netflix revealed the creative team behind each episode of the series, as well as the cast announced for those episodes so far. Get the details below.
