Netflix is renewing "A Series of Unfortunate Events" for a second season.
The message came in the form of "A Miserable Message" posted on Netflix's official YouTube page. The message, narrated by Patrick Warburton, who plays Lemony Snicket in the series, hinted that viewers should go to vastlyfrighteningdecision.com.
On that website, titled "A Very Unfortunate Announcement," a letter "written" by Lemony Snicket said that the show was popular enough for Netflix to green-light a second season.
"Even as we speak, set builders, costume designers, and trauma specialists are snapping into action, the better to bring you more upsetting episodes, all because of your reputed enthusiasm for this grim example of so-called family programming," the message reads.
In January, Daniel Handler, the author of the "Series of Unfortunate Events" books and screenwriter for the series, said he was already writing the second season. He plans for it to cover five books over ten episodes.
The next book in the story is "The Austere Academy," where Violet, Klaus, and Sunny attend Prufrock Preparatory School. There, they face off against Vice Principal Nero, a volatile school administrator who poorly plays the violin.
In its announcement, Netflix did not include an air date for the second season.
