10 Upcoming Horror TV Shows That Will Scare The S**t Out Of You

Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities

Another big Netflix horror series on the horizon, The Watcher promises something new, exciting and terribly scary from American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy and Scream Queens' Ian Brennan.

Sporting a kooky all-star cast comprising Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale, Jennifer Coolidge, and horror royalty in the form of Mia Farrow, the show follows the true story of the Broadduses, a married couple who move into their dream home in New Jersey -- as amusing as that sounds -- and are immediately harassed via old-fashioned, ransom-style letters signed by a stalker known only as The Watcher.

The fact that the show is to be based on The Cut's non-fiction article The Haunting Of A Dream House makes it all the more frightening, as one of the few things more horrendous than horror are horrors that really happened.

Though release dates have been shifted back several times since the series' announcement in early 2021, The Watcher is currently set to premiere on US Netflix on 13 October. But whether that date will be matched in the UK remains to be seen.
