While exploring the ruins, Klaus finds a broken spyglass with an insignia of an eye embedded on the front. Shortly afterwards, they are sent to live with their distant relative Count Olaf, a cruel and vain amateur actor, who forces them into servitude. One night, the siblings prepare puttanesca for Olaf 's theatre troupe only for him to demand roast beef upon arriving home. The children state that they were never asked to prepare roast beef, angering Olaf and prompting him to slap Klaus across the face when he protests about the sleeping arrangements. Meanwhile, a mother and father are held against their will by a mysterious captor. `` The Bad Beginning : Part Two '' Barry Sonnenfeld Daniel Handler January 13, 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) The Baudelaires attempt to convince Mr. Poe of Olaf 's actions, only to be sent away when Poe dismisses their claims.

Klaus confronts Olaf, who threatens to kill Sunny if Violet does n't follow through with his plans. At the very last minute, however, Violet signs the marriage certificate with her left hand, invalidating the proceedings due to the fact that she is right - handed. Mr. Poe 's mysterious secretary Jacquelyn reveals they were intended to be put in the care of their distant relative Montgomery Montgomery. Meanwhile, Jacquelyn 's ally Gustav is mysteriously drowned, after being hit by a poisoned dart. `` The Reptile Room : Part One '' Mark Palansky Daniel Handler January 13, 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) The Baudelaires are sent to live with their herpetologist uncle Montgomery Montgomery, who has recently come across a reptile he calls the Incredibly Deadly Viper. While attempting to learn more about Montgomery, Klaus discovers that the hedge maze in Montgomery 's garden is exactly the same shape as the tattoo on Olaf 's ankle. Olaf poses as Montgomery 's new assistant Stephano and attempts to kidnap the Baudelaires, but Monty assures the Baudelaires that he recognizes Stephano as a threat. The four arrive at a movie theatre, where Monty deciphers a code sent for him through the subtitles of the film, using a spyglass identical to Klaus '. The message instructs him to bring the children to Peru. He fires Stephano shortly afterwards, believing him to be a spy sent to steal his research. `` The Reptile Room : Part Two '' Mark Palansky Emily Fox January 13, 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) Immediately after dismissing `` Stephano, '' Montgomery notices that the door to his Reptile Room is ajar and investigates, only to be attacked by an unseen figure.

While searching for proof of the snake 's innocence, Klaus discovers a statue in Monty 's hedge maze, and a photograph of Monty, both of them carrying spyglasses identical to Klaus '. Violet proves Olaf to be the murderer ; however, he escapes via the hedge maze with Klaus ' spyglass. While pursuing him, the Baudelaires meet Jacquelyn, who is posing as a statue.

She refuses to answer questions about their parents, so the siblings pursue answers themselves around her house, and discover their parents were members of a secret organization, with spyglasses being used as useful devices. They are also shocked to find out that Josephine was once fierce and formidable, and developed her phobias after the death of her husband. Olaf, who has followed the Baudelaires, disguises himself as a sailor named Captain Sham before pretending to fall in love with Josephine.

After returning to the house, the siblings decipher Josephine 's suicide note and discover she is still alive moments before a hurricane sends the house teetering over the cliff. Escaping with a photograph of their parents standing in front of a lumber mill, the siblings find Josephine at a nearby cave, only to be confronted by Olaf, who abandons Josephine to be eaten alive by the leeches that inhabit Lake Lachrymose.

Later that day, the siblings learn that two visitors are waiting to see them. Believing that their parents are still alive, the three are shocked to instead find Orwell and her receptionist `` Shirley St. Ives, '' who is a poorly - disguised Olaf.

Liza Johnson and Jonathan Teplitzky will direct episodes in this season. 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 Potter novels. As such, the Snicket books had been optioned to be filmed before they were published. This led to the development of a 2004 feature film, Lemony Snicket 's A Series of Unfortunate Events, which covered the narratives of the first three novels in the series. Barry Sonnenfeld, who has expressed his love for the series, was originally slated to direct the feature film, and had hired Handler to write the screenplay. 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. With the film 's completion in flux, its producing studios Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks fired Handler. While the film was eventually completed and released, sequels which would 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 into an original television series, with the author of the series, Daniel Handler, serving as executive producer. 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, with Handler writing some of the scripts along with working with the series ' writing team. However, in January 2016, Netflix announced that Hudis had left the project, with a replacement showrunner not named at the time. The first season consists of eight episodes, with two episodes adapting each of the first four books of the series. Handler considered 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 of his influences in writing the book series. 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 how quickly young actors age and change, we 're trying to film everything as quickly as possible. '' In March 2017, Netflix revealed the series had been renewed for a second season by releasing a video on their social media pointing to a viral marketing website, where a letter written by Snicket revealed the decision. A month later, the series was `` quietly '' renewed for a third season, which Harris confirmed would be the final one for the series. Casting Neil Patrick Harris portrays Count Olaf in the series and serves as a producer. On December 3, 2015, an open casting call was announced for the roles of Violet and Klaus Baudelaire. 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. Handler had first considered Harris for the role of Olaf after seeing him perform the opening number `` It 's Not Just for Gays Anymore '', at the 65th Tony Awards in 2011, noting `` I just immediately saw someone who could pull off a million things at once '' as was necessary for the character of Olaf, who utilizes various disguises and accents in his quest to steal the Baudelaire fortune. In March 2016, K. Todd Freeman was cast as Mr. Poe, followed shortly after by the casting of Patrick Warburton as Lemony Snicket, and Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty. In September 2016, it was revealed that Dylan Kingwell and Avi Lake were cast as the Quagmire siblings, Duncan and Isadora, respectively. In November 2016, Handler revealed Catherine O'Hara, Don Johnson, and Alfre Woodard had been cast as Dr. Georgina Orwell, Sir, and Aunt Josephine, respectively ; O'Hara had previously portrayed Justice Strauss in the 2004 film adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events. It was also revealed that Presley Smith would play Sunny Baudelaire, whose quasi-nonsensical lines are voiced by Tara Strong, and Rhys Darby would play Charles, Sir 's partner. Filming Production began in May 2016 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and in August 2016 several cast members expressed through social media that filming had finished. Filming for the second season began in April 2017. The third season began filming on January 5, 2018. 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 he wrote enough for establishing set pieces, but purposely left more specific details vague `` in order for young readers to fill 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 elements 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 where needed, they attempted to avoid this use where possible, such as by using large painted backdrops, by key scenic artist John E. Wilcox, rather than employing green screen filming. Music In April 2016, Nick Urata was initially reported to be composing music for the series. 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. Visual effects Zoic Studios created visual effects for the series, including the effects for many of Sunny Baudelaire 's actions. Tippett Studio also did work on the series, including the effects for the destruction of Josephine 's house, landscape shots of Lake Lachrymose and some of the more movement heavy Sunny Baudelaire shots. Release All eight episodes of the first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events were released worldwide on Netflix on January 13, 2017, in Ultra HD 4K. The second season was released on March 30, 2018. 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. However, Caitlin Petrakovitz of CNET argued that the trailer may be real and that Netflix 's carefully worded denial was a marketing campaign, noting the user name `` Eleanora Poe '' being the same as a character from the series, and that a vinyl record seen in the trailer was of The Gothic Archies, a band who provided the theme music for the audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events. The trailer was later revealed to be a spec promo, similar to a spec script, by an independent commercial director, whom Netflix contracted to make a title sequence for the series after the video 's popularity, though they did not go ahead with the concept. In October 2016, Netflix released the first teaser trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events, where Warburton narrates the events of the series as Lemony Snicket. A trailer, featuring footage from the series and Neil Patrick Harris 's character, Count Olaf, was released by Netflix in November 2016, followed shortly by the first full trailer. The second trailer was released in December 2016, followed by a `` holiday - themed '' trailer from Count Olaf leading fans to a viral marketing website for the fictional Valorous Farms Dairy, which featured four holiday e-cards for download. Reception Audience viewership As Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series, Symphony Technology Group compiled data for the first season based on people using software on their devices that measure television viewing by detecting a program 's sound. According to Symphony, 3.755 million viewers age 18 - 49 were watching an episode of A Series of Unfortunate Events over the average minute in its first weekend of release. Critical response The first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events received critical acclaim. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the season an approval rating of 93 % based on 59 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Enjoyably dark, A Series of Unfortunate Events matches the source material 's narrative as well as its tone, leaving viewers with a wonderfully weird, dry, gothic comedy. '' On Metacritic the season has a score of 81 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. Erik Adams of The A.V. Club awarded the season a B and praised it for treating `` mature themes like grief, loss, and disappointment with sardonic honesty. '' Adams compared the program positively to the Adam West Batman series, calling it `` kids stuff with adult sophistication, driven by two - part stories, outrageous visuals, and the scenery - chewing of big - name guest stars ''. Ben Travers of Indiewire gave the series an A -, saying that it `` proves as inspirational and endearing as it claims to be forlorn and heartbreaking ''. Brian Lowry of CNN praised the showrunners for `` infusing the show with a lemony - fresh feel, conjuring a series similar to the fantastical tone of Pushing Daisies. Lowry wrote that `` the show proves a good deal of fun '' and that `` Harris dives into his over-the - top character with considerable gusto ''. He also argued that the series improved upon the 2004 film. Several critics praised the television series as 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 television format gave the stories more room to develop, the addition of Warburton as the fourth wall - breaking Snicket helped to convey 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. The Verge 's Chaim Gartenburg said that the show follows the books much more faithfully than the film, and `` nails down the tone that made the stories so special ''. Los Angeles Times writer Robert Lloyd felt that the backgrounds of Sonnenfeld and Welch made them `` the right people for this job, set in a milieu that is hard to fix in time, except to say it is not now '', in capturing the tones of the book compared to the feature film. Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com, on the other hand, gave the series a negative review, calling it `` an unfunny parody of sadness '' that is `` never as clever as it wants to be '' and would only appeal to fans of the books. Caroline Framke of Vox Media praised the series for its unique and weird visuals, but found the show 's tone, pacing and performances to be haphazard and considered the show to be `` literally, a series of unfortunate events ''.
