Netflix's "Sexy Beasts" Trailer Has Twitter Absolutely Freaking Out
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
So a dolphin and a mantis walk into a bar. This isn't the start of a joke, this is Netflix's brand new series Sexy Beasts.
The show's trailer dropped on June 23 and the internet is completely on fire over it. The show features regular people going on blind dates. Seems normal right? Except that they're wearing some very interesting masks and makeup that completely hide what they really look like and turn them into animals.
"Ready to say goodbye to superficial dating? SEXY BEASTS is the dating show that takes looks completely out of the equation using fantastical, cutting edge prosthetics to transform the daters - giving them a chance to find love purely based on personality," Netflix wrote in their official description of the series.
If you think that we're joking, you can check out the trailer above and check it out for yourself. And yes, it's totally real and not a super late April Fools Joke that Netflix is trying to pull on us. In fact, many other people also can't believe that it's real.
Someone mentioned that it's a "mix of Love is Blind and 80s body horror movies."
I truly would love to know the Netflix algorithm that led to Sexy Beasts getting greenlit. Like is there a huge subset of people who alternate binge watching "Love is Blind" and 80s body horror movies? pic.twitter.com/DjLQquW4RN

Another user was so freaked out that they actually blocked Netflix and muted the show on Twitter so they can't watch the trailer.

One Twitter user was basically all of us writing, "Just saw the trailer for the new Netflix show Sexy Beasts and I'm both weirdly intrigued and moderately disturbed by it."
