A Series of Unfortunate Events is coming to Netflix and, if the first trailer is anything to go by, Neil Patrick Harris will creep everyone out with his portrayal of Count Olaf.

The one-minute teaser gives us a hint of what’s to come once the show hits Netflix on January 13: expect adventures galore, weird plans and that big, scary house.

The real star of the trailer, though, is Count Olaf. Characters don’t mess around when it comes describing Count Olaf. He is 'vile, terrible, a thief, a murderer, a wretch, horrible, and awful'. Sounds like fun.

Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Warburton and Joan Cusack, all eight episodes from the first season of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events will be available to stream from January 13, 2017.
