Production
Development
The thirteen A series of Unfortunate Events novels, written by Daniel Handler under the pen name Lemony Snicket from 1999 to 2006, achieved success in young adult fiction around the same time as the Harry Potternovels. As such, the Snicket books had been optioned to be filmed before they were published. [24] This led to the development of a 2004 feature film, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events , qui covered the narrative of the first three novels in the series. Barry Sonnenfeld , who had his love for the series, was originally slated to direct the feature film, and had hired Handler to write the screenplay. [25] About 10 months into production, shortly after the casting of Jim Carrey as Olaf, there was a “big crisis”, according to Handler, which caused producer Scott Rudin to walk away and Sonnenfeld left the production under unclear terms. [24] With the movie’s completion in flux, ict Producing studios Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks fired Handler. While the film was eventually completed and released, sequels which would be adapt the other novels in the series became unlikely due to “corporate shakeups” within DreamWorks, according to Handler, and the child actors that portrayed the Baudelaire children grew too old to star in a sequel.

In November 2014, Netflix , in association with Paramount Television , announced its plans to adapt the novels in an original television series, with the author of the series, Daniel Handler, serving as executive producer. [26]
In September 2015, it was announced that Barry Sonnenfeld and Mark Hudis had agreed to helm the series. Hudis would serve as showrunner, Sonnenfeld as director, and both as executive producers, [27] with Handler writing some of the scripts along with working with the series writing team. [28] However, in January 2016, Netflix announced that Hudis had left the project, with a replacement showrunner not named at the time. [5]
The first season consists of eight episodes, [6] with two episodes adapting each of the first four books of the series. [29] Handler regarded this more in line with how He Had written the books in the Manner of a serialized melodrama, Citing The Perils of Pauline as One de son influence in writing the book series. [30] In January 2017, Handler revealed that he was writing the series’ second season, to consist of ten episodes adapting the fifth through ninth books of the series. A third season would adapt the remaining novels of the series, which Handler hoped “to get the go-ahead to do” since given quickly and quickly actors change and we try to film everything as quickly as possible. ” [28] In March 2017, Netflix revealed the series had been renewed for a second season by releasing a video on their social media. [31] A month later, the series was “quietly” renewed for a third season. [32]
Casting
On December 3, 2015, an open casting call was announced for the roles of Violet and Klaus Baudelaire. [33] In January 2016, Netflix announced that Neil Patrick Harris had been cast as Count Olaf and Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes were cast as Violet and Klaus. [5] [7] Handler had first considered Harris for the role of Olaf after seeing him performing the opening number “It’s Not Just for Gays Anymore”, at the 65th Tony Awards in 2011, noting ” “The Baudelaire Fortune,” in which he wrote ”
In March 2016, K. Todd Freeman was cast as Mr. Poe, [8] followed shortly after by the casting of Patrick Warburton as Lemony Snicket , [6] and Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty .

Filming
Production began in May 2016, [35] and in August 2016 several cast members expressed through social media that filming had finished. [36]
One aspect of the series of books that the production team wanted to be captured in the series was the notion of a lack of specific time period or geography for the settings; Handler stated that it was a good idea for the reader to understand the meaning of the word “in order to read in the blanks themselves”. Sonnenfeld wanted to capture that same sense of ambiguous time and place, and he and his team worked to try to define a set of subjective rules of what could be included. Sonnenfeld brought on Bo Welch , production designer for Edward Scissorhands , which Handler considered to capture the same sense of a “familiar but completely imaginary” suburban setting he had in mind for his books. While the production team used computer-generated imagery , it was necessary to use this as much as possible, as it was by using large painted backdrops, by key scenic artist John E. Wilcox, rather than employing green screen filming. [thirty]
Music
In April 2016, Nick Urata was initially reported to be composing music for the series. [37] Once the series was released, it was revealed that Urata collaborated with Daniel Handler to compose the main title theme, as well as various original songs that appear throughout the series, with Handler contributing the lyrics. The original score was composed by James Newton Howard , with his frequent collaborators Sven Faulconer and Chris Bacon filling in to score certain episodes. [38]
Visual effects
Zoic Studios created the effects for the series, including the effects of Sunny Baudelaire’s actions. [39]
Release
All eight episodes of A Series of Unfortunate Events were released worldwide on Netflix on January 13, 2017, [15] in Ultra HD 4K . [40]
Marketing
On July 5, 2015 a video titled “An Unfortunate Teaser” was uploaded to YouTube by a user named “Eleanora Poe”. Netflix quickly released a statement saying “This was not released from Netflix.” Media outlets were almost unanimous in agreement that the trailer was fan-made. [42] [42] [43] [44] However, Caitlin Petrakovitz of CNET argues that the trailer may be real and that Netflix’s carefully worded “eleanora poe” From the series, and that a vinyl record in the trailer was of the Gothic Archies , a band that provided the theme for the audio books of a series of unfortunate events . [45] The trailer was later revealed to be a spec script , by an independent commercial director, which Netflix contracted to make a title sequence for the series after the video’s popularity, though they did not go ahead with the concept. [46]
In October 2016, Netflix released the first teaser trailer for a series of unfortunate events, where Warburton narrates the series as Lemony Snicket.

Several critics have a better adaptation of the books than the 2004 feature film , which starred Jim Carrey as Count Olaf. Kelly Lawler of USA Today felt the TV screen gave the stories more room to develop, the addition of Warburton as the fourth wall -breaking Snicket Helped to Convey Reviews some of the wordplay humor used in the books, and Harris’s portrayal of Olaf was “much more Dynamic, and creepier “than Carrey’s version.
