The official trailer for The House, an upcoming Netflix anthology series produced by Nexus Studios (This Way Up, Back to The Moon) boasting the talents of four of stop-motion’s most acclaimed artists – Emma de Swaef, Marc Roels, Niki Lindroth von Bahr and Paloma Baeza – has been released this week alongside new poster art. The series is described as “an eccentric dark comedy about a house and the three surreal tales of the individuals who made it their home”.
Story 1, directed by Marc James Roels & Emma de Swaef
Set in the 1800s, impoverished Raymond meets a mysterious benefactor who promises to restore both him and his family to their former status. The family soon learns that wants and desires may not always lead you where you expect.
Story 1 includes Claudie Blakley, Matthew Goode, Mia Goth, Mark Heap, Miranda Richardson, Josh McGuire and Stephanie Cole among its voice cast.
Story 2, directed by Niki Lindroth von Bahr
Set in the present day, a harassed property developer tries to make a quick sale from a renovation. However, some eerie unexpected guests have other plans and become the catalyst to a more personal transformation.
Story 2 features the musicians Jarvis Cocker and Dizzee Rascal alongside Yvonne Lombard and Sven Wollter.
Story 3, directed by Paloma Baeza
Set in the near future, the house survives a hugely changed landscape. We meet Rosa, a young landlady determined to stay in her beloved crumbling house and restore it to its former glory. But Rosa’s unrealistic vision has blinded her to the inevitable change that is coming and to what matters most.
Story 3 will star Helena Bonham-Carter, Paul Kaye and Will Sharpe.
The House premieres on Netflix January 14th 2022
