What's the episode schedule for 'Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities'?
Unlike other streaming originals, Guillermo del Toro is switching things up. Instead of following the binge-release model or the one-episode-per-week model, the Academy Award winning filmmaker will release two episodes a day over the course of four days.
How cool is that?!
