With Jordan Peele’sUsmaking big box office bankin theaters and getting everyone buzzingabout the metaphors and allegoriesat the center of the story, people feel like horror is making some kind of comeback. The fact is horror never left. Some people just weren’t looking in the right place. And soon enough, you won’t have to look very far at all for some new scares.
Chambersis a new psychological horror series coming to Netflix this spring. Starring newcomerSivan Alyra RoseasSasha Yazzie, the story focuses on a young heart attack survivor who is lucky enough to be the recipient of a heart transplant to save her life.

Here’s the official synopsis forChambers:
A young heart attack survivor becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the heart that saved her life. However, the closer she gets to uncovering the truth about her donor’s sudden death, the more she starts taking on the characteristics of the deceased — some of which are troublingly sinister.
Sounds like a typical possession sort of horror film with a little bit of a medical twist. Series creatorLeah Racheldidn’t tiptoe around what Chambers becomes as the story continues:
“Taking place in a mystic, New Age pocket of Arizona,Chambersis a psychological horror story that explores the different ways we metabolize trauma. But what starts out as a grounded human story eventually pivots into something far more strange and fucked up than you were expecting.”
As you can seeUma Thurmanalso stars in the series, but she doesn’t appear to be playing the heart attack victim’s mother. Instead, she’s playing Nancy Lefevre, mother toLilliya Reidas Becky Lefevre andNicholas Galitzineas Elliott Lefevre, and married toTony Goldwynas Ben Lefevre. Perhaps they’re close family friends? Or maybe they’re the family of the donor who gave up their heart?
The rest of the cast includesKyanna Simone Simpson(Black Lightning),Lilli Kay(Paterno),Sarah Mezzanotte(Blue Bloods, Royal Pains) and newcomerGriffin Powell-Arcand.
Leah Rachel also executive produces the series withAlfonso Gomez Rejon, as well as producersWinnie Kemp, Wolfgang Hammer, Jennifer Yale, andSteve Gaghan.
