The series is an atmospheric horror story based on a wedding, depicting the week leading up to a bride and groom’s “ill-fated nuptials”, driven by choice. rosemary’s baby And carry.
story focused Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone) and nikki cunningham (Adam DeMarco). according to Entertainment WeeklyThe couple travels to her wealthy family’s secluded vacation home in the middle of winter, where they are to be married in five days. As strange events begin to occur, Rachel becomes increasingly paranoid.
Creator Haley Z. Boston describes the show as exploring “the fear of marrying the wrong person through a horror lens”, taking inspiration from classics such as carry And rosemary’s baby.
Discussing the show’s oppressive mood, creator Boston explains that the goal was for the audience to “feel the paranoia and the fear that Rachel is feeling”, deliberately “constructing the show in terms of her discomfort” even when the character is not present. She connects this fear to the universal anxiety of entering one’s partner’s childhood home and meeting the in-laws, saying “It really reflects what it feels like to enter a house for the first time… There are all these stories you don’t know about and you’re suddenly walking into it”.
Regarding Duffer’s involvement in the project, Matt Duffer explained that although the show falls under their Upside Down Pictures banner, they are stepping back to let new voices take the lead. He explained his approach as “finding talent and creative people that we deeply respect and helping them get the show off the ground” rather than running the day-to-day production. The Duffer Brothers previously said of the series in a statement, “We were blown away when we first read Haley’s script.” “She’s a major new talent with a singular voice – her writing is warped, terrifying, funny and just… so Haley. We feel so lucky to be producing her first show, and we can’t wait to share her vision with the rest of the world.”
