WATCH: Here's your first look at Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events

(SPOT.ph) After months of anticipation, book lovers finally have their first, much longer look at Netflix's adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Based on the highly successful YA series by Lemony Snicket, the show recounts the tragic tale of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire—three orphans who must outsmart their scheming guardian, Count Olaf, from taking their inheritance.

Netflix's first trailer is a glimpse at Neil Patrick Harris' Count Olaf, and the streaming site also released some official photos of the cast playing the Baudelaire siblings:
