Not sure about the casting for Benedict and Kate... but as long as they adapted the story faithfully, I’m in!

[@gelifilms]

I feel like Mr. Benedict is casted well, we'll see about Kate! Kate in this trailer doesn't have her usual ponytail but I'm glad to see her red bucket. As for me I think Constance should have been a tad bit smaller and younger considering she was only two-years-old in the books but I do understand the change since finding someone to a play a smart two-year-old would be very difficult. It was easy to translate book Sunny Baudelaire to movie/TV one since Sunny in the books spoke gibberish and was clearly stated to be a baby, whereas Constance was only revealed to be a toddler by the end of book#1 (from what I remember). Nevertheless I'm so excited because Stonetown's visuals look so great and the wardrobe for Number Two is phenomenal - she looks like a pencil indeed!

[@gelifilms]

@@the-pan-potato3139 youre absolutely right about Kate looking like she's a punk more than a strong circus girl! 😂 But we'll see how she performs in the show! And as for constance, i do appreciate the actress' snarky behavior! Wish they made her raincoat more red than with a pinkish tone but again it must be for them to look visually pleasing which i totally understand! And yes, I really hope this becomes at least as successful as the ASOUE Netflix series and not a flop such as the Percy Jackson/A Wrinkle in Time/Artemis Fowl book to TV screen adaptations 😭😭

[@eloisefeuser195]

[@justin.booth.]

But number two is perfect! I wonder who they will get for Rhonda?

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

I read these books when I was young Things they got right in this trailer: 1. The yellow outfit that Number 2 got (although her skin was said to be yellow but I’ll let that slide) 2. 3 of the kids look like their book counterparts. And even some details about them they got right: Sticky being the book-smart one with spectacles, Reynie being ordinary, Kate being mechanical and having a bucket, Constance wearing her raincoat and being small 3. The house being filled with books 4. The villain being Mr. Benedict’s twin brother 5. The room with the white, black, and yellow squares 6. “If any child is caught cheating, they are executed-“ *gasp* “I mean, excused” 7. Rhonda and Milligan looking like their book counterpart 8. The place in an island Things that they didn’t get right here 1. Mr. Benedict and Mr. Curtain both wear glasses. Mr. Curtain especially since he uses reflective lens to hide his narcolepsy 2. Kate is supposed to have a ponytail 3. Mr. Curtain’s reveal is supposed to be later on when they were already in the school 4. Edit: Oh yeah, Mr. Benedict and Mr. Curtain are supposed to be older 5. Sticky is supposed to be bald 6. While Rhonda does look like her book counterpart, she was supposed to be able to pass off as a twelve year old (this one is on shaky ground at best because what happened in this part in the book could be different in the movie) Still hope that this will be a great adaptation of the books. I can’t wait

[@nellkrahnke8863]

I don't love that they changed it so that they already know that Mr. Curtain is the brother. That was one of the best shock plot points in the series.

So a lot of ASOUE (Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events) and TMBS (The Mysterious Benedict Society) fans/readers have been commenting and I just wanna say: does it bother y'all that Constance Contraire in this trailer seems to be more similar to a toned down version of Carmelita Spats instead of being a spoiled version of Sunny Baudelaire?

[@lizcecilia5426]

For years when someone has asked my favorite book or series, I have always answered the Mysterious Benedict Society. This series has been my solace for years and one of my reasons for wanting to become a librarian. Am I ready for more people to know my secret book, my favorite place to go? I hope so. Reynie, Kate, Sticky, Constance, Mr.B, Number Two, Rhonda, Mulligan.... I’ll see you in a month

[@laurathompson3998]

I just had a heart attack. This was my favorite series from elementary-middle school. I re-read them so many times. Omg omgomg

[@brynnp.4953]

My GT teacher went over these books with us so many times, omg. I'm really excited for this, fingers crossed they do Kate's bucket justice!!

[@serenaisproblem]

same! I even dressed up as Kate for Halloween when I was ten!

I remember reading this when I was younger and wished they made a movie. My wish was answered.

[@ELEibel]

Disney, please make this available again!!!

[@newgate-zerohour]

I've been fantasizing about a motion picture adaptation of these books for over 6 years now. Mulling over who would play whom, how I, as the director of the film, would shoot the scenes, etc... and though some things aren't how I imagined them, I do feel overjoyed to see it receive the recognition it deserves. Here's hoping Disney doesn't mess it up. It's not like they have a track record of doing that or anything... >.>

This was literally my favorite show ever next to DuckTales 2017. I can't even rewatch it or anything now that they took it off. At least make DVDs of it or sell it to another streaming service or something

Hopefully they don't massacre this one like they did Artemis Fowl. Mr. Benedict is young and Kate doesn't have blonde hair so I'm already getting worried.

As a book purist, I'm miffed at how many little changes there are from them. They jar me out. Notwithstanding, Disney kept the important stuff, and this is looking like a good series of its own accord.
