An engaged couple\u2019s wedding is derailed by curses and family secrets in Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen.<\/p>\n

Created by Haley Z. Boston, the horror series follows Rachel and her fianc\u00e9 Nicky as they head to the latter\u2019s family vacation home, where they are due to get married.<\/p>\n

Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco lead the show\u2019s cast, alongside Gus Birney, Karla Crome, Jeff Wilbusch, Ted Levine and Jennifer Jason Leigh.<\/p>\n

All eight episodes of Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen were released March 26, 2026 on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the final episode, Nicky, reeling from the revelation that his parents\u2019 marriage wasn\u2019t as perfect as he first believed, decides against marrying Rachel at the altar. He believes he is saving both of them from destroying their happiness through marriage, something Rachel didn\u2019t initially want when they first met.<\/p>\n

This sparks panic with Rachel, who had convinced herself Nicky was her soulmate in order to break the curse \u2013 or to stop it spreading to Nicky\u2019s bloodline at least. The pair head off to a private room away from the chaos.<\/p>\n

During a heated argument, Nicky admits to Rachel that he had never believed her about the curse to begin with. This is the dealbreaker for Rachel, who believed she had found someone who understood her and believed her unquestionably.<\/p>\n

Nicky tries to patch things up, but Rachel refuses to marry him following this revelation, saying how he\u2019s not worth dying for.<\/p>\n

When the sun goes down, and the deadline passes for Rachel to stop the curse shifting to his bloodline, there is an unexpected wrinkle as Nicky\u2019s family members who are already married \u2013 but not to their soulmate \u2013 start bleeding from their eyes and nose, just like Rachel\u2019s mother years prior before she ultimately died.<\/p>\n

The chaos accelerates as Nicky\u2019s mother Victoria, his sister Portia (who married someone in Las Vegas) along with many others in the bloodline at the wedding ceremony, collapse and die on the floor. Aside from Nicky, the only one who isn\u2019t affected is Jules, who has seemingly married his soulmate in Nell.<\/p>\n

Nicky and Rachel try to seal their marriage in an attempt to reverse the curse. However, it doesn\u2019t work. Rachel, who has fallen out of love with Nicky, starts bleeding from her face and she runs to an outside enclosure and collapses in the snow.<\/p>\n

Does Rachel die?<\/p>\n

As the curse passed to another bloodline, The Witness, who was cursed to attend every wedding in Rachel\u2019s family bloodline, was taken by death.<\/p>\n

The Witness baton is then passed to Rachel, who reawakens as the immortal being in the snow. She warns young Jude that he must choose to marry the right person in the future, stating that she\u2019ll be there to witness it.<\/p>\n

In the final shot, we see Rachel drive off in a pick-up truck scribbled with \u2018Just Married\u2019 on the back, as \u2018We Will Not Be Lovers\u2019 by The Waterboys blasts over the speakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An engaged couple\u2019s wedding is derailed by curses and family secrets in Something Very Bad Is Going To…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,936,392,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-502696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-explainer","tag-netflix","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
