Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar (Satan’s Slaves, Impetigore), known internationally for stylish and gory horror, has a supernatural thriller series on the way for Netflix. Anwar recently teased a first look at upcoming series “Nightmares & Daydreams” via Twitter.

Netflix describes “Nightmares & Daydreams” as “A supernatural thriller series that shows there isn’t necessarily a rational explanation behind every occurrence.”

Between Anwar’s body of horror works so far and the ominous first look image, above and below, the series is already shaping up to be a creepy one.

The series was initially announced in 2022 by Deadline as part of a huge slate of Indonesian projects that included several new series and movies from renowned Indonesian filmmakers, including Joko Anwar. The outlet reported to expect “Nightmares & Daydreams” to follow multiple storylines that would see ordinary people encountering strange, eerie phenomena.

“Indonesia is so full of unique and extraordinary stories. I’m always excited to have the chance to bring these stories to a wider audience,” Anwar told Deadline at the time of the announcement.

“Nightmares & Daydreams” isn’t the only horror offering in the pipeline from Anwar; expect to hear more soon about Siksa Kubur (Grave Torture), an upcoming horror film written and directed by Joko Anwar from the production house Come and See Pictures. The film is a feature length adaptation of the 2012 short film, available to watch now on Anwar’s YouTube channel.

Joko Anwar’s most recent release stateside was 2022’s Satan’s Slaves: Communion, which debuted on Shudder.

“For at least the last half decade, Joko Anwar has been directing some of the best horror movies in the world. The original Satan’s Slaves is widely lauded as one of the scariest movies in Shudder history, so we’re beyond thrilled to have Joko back with a sequel that more than lives up to the original. We can’t wait for our members to see how this terrifying story plays out,” said Shudder general manager Craig Engler for the film’s U.S. release. All of which to say that it feels like a safe bet that the filmmaker’s upcoming series will go for the jugular.

Of course, there’s no current release date set as of yet for “Nightmares & Daydreams”, but filmmaker Joko Anwar teases that it’s coming soon.

Stay tuned for additional details as they arrive.
