The first time they tried to bring Lemony Snicket’s book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events to life on screen, it didn’t go as well as they’d hoped, even with a big name like Jim Carrey as the main bad guy, Olaf. This time around, Netflix is giving the books a chance with it’s own series, and replacing Carrey, will be fan favorite, Neil Patrick Harris.
Today, we’re getting our first look at NPH as Olaf, and it does not disappoint. the new show is slated for 13 episodes and is being produced and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld known for things like Men in Black, The Aadams Family movie, and GEt Shorty.
