General Hospital's Sebastian Roché joins Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

Cabinet of Curiosities, the upcoming horror anthology series by famed director Guillermo del Toro, is getting a dose of super talent with the addition of Sebastian Roché (ex-Jerry Jacks, GH).

Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has put together a list of impressive names to help bring his sinister series, Cabinet of Curiosities (originally titled Guillermo del Toro Presents 10 After Midnight), to life. One of them is General Hospital alum Sebastian Roch (ex-Jerry Jacks), who is set to appear in one episode of the Netflix anthology project.

According to the streaming platform, its upcoming Cabinet of Curiosities will consist of eight unprecedented and genre-defining narratives that span from macabre to magical, gothic to grotesque, to just classically creepy. As a whole, the eight tales are meant to "challenge our traditional notions of horror."

Roch will be joining Watchmen actor Tim Blake Nelson, Euphoria actress Elpidia Carrillo, and Fear the Walking Dead actor Demetrius Grosse in an episode written by Regina Corrado, based on an original story by del Toro, the Academy-Award-winning filmmaker behind Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, The Shape of Water, and Pacific Rim.
