Netflix is bringing the beloved books “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” to your (computer) screens in the new year.
The novels — and the series — follow the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire after their parents’ untimely death in a fire.

Along with Harris, the series also stars Patrick Warburton (Lemony Snicket), Malina Weissman (Violet), Louis Hynes (Klaus), Presley Smith (Sunny), Joan Cusack (Justice Strauss), Alfre Woodard (Aunt Josephine), Catherine O’Hara (Dr. Orwell), K. Todd Freeman (Mr. Poe), Aasif Maandvi (Uncle Monty), Don Johnson (Sir) and more
