THESE FIRST LOOK PHOTOS ARE ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL... .BUT THEN AGAIN, SO ARE YOU

"You think Neil Patrick What's-His-Face is sooooo charming and famous??! Preposterous! It is I, Count Olaf.

Netflix has chosen ME, their most talented and handsomest ac-TOR, to reveal the FIRST LOOK images for A Series of Unfortunate Events - their most awful show (season two is even worse than the last, if you can even believe it). How unfortunate you are indeed. Luckily, I am featured prominently in these photographs - surely collectors items worth millions of dollars. You'll just want to avert your eyes from the grotesque children, who somehow managed to weasel their way into the First Look. But don't worry, I'll take care of them soon enough [maniacal laugh].

Now start tap-tap-tapping on your typewriters so you can write all about ME and how unbelievably dashing I look. What? It's not like there's anything else going on in this miserable world worth reporting on."

Season Two of A Series of Unfortunate Events premieres worldwide on Netflix, Spring 2018.

Count Olaf (NEIL PATRICK HARRIS) and the equally dastardly Esmé Squalor (LUCY PUNCH) don disguises as medical staff at the Heimlich Hospital, as they continue their tireless pursuit of the Baudelaire orphans and their fortune.

Based on the internationally best selling series of books by Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler), season two of the Netflix original series plunges further into the epic world of this darkly comedic mystery.

Starring Emmy and Tony Award-winner Neil Patrick Harris, A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans - Violet, Klaus, and Sunny - and their extraordinary encounters with the devious Count Olaf who will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance. Foiling his many dastardly plans and disguises, the young siblings discover clues to their parents' mysterious death, links to a covert organization, and begin to unlock long-held family secrets. Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, Presley Smith, Patrick Warburton and K. Todd Freeman (among others) return for season two.
