First-look at Count Olaf in Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events

A series of first-look images have arrived showing Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf in Netflix’s upcoming Lemony Snicket adaptation A Series of Unfortunate Events.

The show recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans – Violet, Klaus, and Sunny ā€“ whose evil guardian Count Olaf will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance. The siblings must outsmart Olaf at every turn, foiling his many devious plans and disguises, in order to discover clues to their parentsā€™ mysterious death.

The eight-episode series is a Netflix original production, executive produced by Emmy Award winner Barry Sonnenfeld and Daniel Handler, and

Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events premieres worldwide on Friday 13th January 2017 only on Netflix.
