The Netflix premiere of âA Series of Unfortunate Eventsâ is still a couple of months away, but itâs never too early to get everyone excited. Today, Daniel Handler - or Lemony Snicket, as heâs known by most - gave us a look at two characters from the upcoming adaptation.Below, youâll find the images for Justice Strauss (played by Joan Cusack) and Dr. Georgina Orwell (Catherine OâHara). Also teased in the tweet from Handler was the fact that we'll be getting our first trailer for the TV show later this week.For those unaware, Strauss is Count Olafâs neighbor and debuts in the first book, âThe Bad Beginning." While many characters in the books arenât kind to the children, Strauss immediately earns their affection by letting them use her library to learn how to cook a certain dish. Dr. Orwell, on the other hand, is on the "not so kind" side of characters.An optometrist, her debut in the fourth book, âThe Miserable Mill," shows that she is clearly on Olafâs side when it comes to his plans for the children. She even goes so far as to hypnotize the children at one point in the book. Funny enough, OâHara originally played Justice Strauss in the 2004 film version of âA Series of Unfortunate Events," so there seems to be a small nod in the casting.
âA Series of Unfortunate Eventsâ Season 1 will debut January 13, 2017 on Netflix.
