Curses! Coming To Apple TV Is Our Most Anticipated Show Of the Fall

Sometimes a show speaks to you, even when all you have is an image and a story idea. Once it was pitched to us as gateway horror for kids, Curses! immediately jumped to the top of our list of Fall animated shows. This brand new spooky adventure comedy series will be streaming on Apple TV+ starting October 27th, and we have officially marked our calendar.

Curses! will tell the story of a long family curse that turns a father into stone, while his two children and wife need to return stolen artifacts to try and save him. The amount of talent behind and in front of the series is overwhelming, as you can see below, but our favorite is the casting of Robert Englund (“A Nightmare on Elm Street”) as Cornelius, which is a fun nod to a horror classic.

While we haven’t seen Curses! in motion yet, the one picture that we have is the exact vibe we would want in a spooky comedy series that has a ton of adventure. Looking forward to this on as it comes to life right before Halloween.

Premiering just in time for Halloween on Friday, October 27, “CURSES!” is a brand new animated, spooky adventure comedy series for kids from DreamWorks Animation. When a generations-long family curse turns Alex Vanderhouven to stone, it’s up to his two kids, Pandora and Russ, and his wife Sky, to return artifacts stolen by their ancestors to their rightful homes to finally lift the curse for good. The series is created and executive produced by Jim Cooper (“DreamWorks Dragons”) and Jeff Dixon (“The Hurricane Heist”).
