About the show
Every Friday. A familiar story.
An ending you may not know.
Dark Fairytales brings the original fairy tales of Grimm, Andersen and Perrault to an adult audience. Victoria Unikel reads the complete stories in English, from a candlelit library. Read in full, told as horror. Nothing softened.
The opening season is planned as 32 episodes. Longer tales span two readings: The Little Mermaid in E05–E06, and The Snow Queen later in the season.
The opening calendar
New video every Friday at 4:00 PM ET. Podcast at 9:00 PM ET. All times are New York time. The Red Shoes is available now; the other dates are scheduled releases.
