"After years of providing top-quality entertainment on demand, Netflix is risking its reputation and its success by associating itself with my dismaying and upsetting books," the story's author, Daniel Handler, wrote in the press release, taking on the identity of the series' ever pessimistic fictional author, Lemony Snicket. Netflix is still looking for the right director to turn the books into a show for your TVs and computer screens, so it's yet to announce when it'll be available to stream. In addition to A Series of Unfortunate Events, Netflix is also developing other original chidlren's programs in the next few years, including a How to Train Your Dragon spin-off and a King Kong cartoon series.
