Guillermo del Toro Reveals Potential Directors for Cabinet of Curiosities Season 2


There is a lot of potential in Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities, especially after the terrifying tales that were told in its first season. So what can we expect if the anthology series gets renewed? Del Toro has just revealed the potential directors who could helm the new episodes in Season 2.

Guillermo del Toro recently spoke to IndieWire where he admitted he already has big plans for the new filmmakers who will work on Cabinet of Curiosities Season 2.

"I have a list," he confessed. "For example, we tried to get Jayro Bustamente before and he couldn’t because of COVID. When you think about Mexican filmmakers, there’s Isaa Lopez. She was going to direct one of the episodes when she got True Detective and she couldn’t do it. Boots Riley wrote and was going to direct one episode and he got his series greenlit. I could go and spoil the entire second season for you, but I’m not going to do that."

Del Toro continued, "Larry Fessenden is one hundred percent at the very, very top of my list for a second season. Larry is one of those names that back in the days of the Spirit Awards I fought for him to be nominated with Habit, which I think is phenomenal. I’ve been in touch with him since then. We were very close to remaking The Orphanage."

It certainly sounds like a solid list of filmmakers who could easily deliver terrifying new tales for the anthology series. However, it is important to remember that Cabinet of Curiosities has not yet been renewed for Season 2. Still, considering the success of the first season, there's a huge chance we'll be getting some news soon.

All eight episodes of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities are currently streaming on Netflix.
