The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell is an American streaming television sitcom created by and starring Christine McConnell. It premiered on Netflix on October 12, 2018. The show consists of six episodes and was produced by Netflix, Wilshire Studios and Henson Alternative, an arm of The Jim Henson Company . [1] The series was not renewed for a second season. [2]

The show centers around Christine McConnell, an artist and baker who lives in a mansion full of monsters and ghosts. Accompanied by Rose, Rankle, and Edgar, McConnell loves to create morbid-looking desserts like gingerbread haunted houses, caramel spiders and bones made of pretzel sticks, peanut butter and white chocolate.

A combination of a DIY show and scripted reality, the show deals with annoying neighbors, relatives, and what to wear on a first date with someone you just met at the cemetery.

Netflix had expressed interest in a goth-inspired series for a long time. [ citation needed ] McConnell, who already had a large following on Reddit and Instagram , pitched the show to Netflix and Brian Henson. [4] Following the success of Julie's Greenroom , which had been released in early 2017, Netflix expressly wanted the Jim Henson company to produce the show. The company claimed that it was coordinating many other projects, however, Henson Alternative picked up the show.

Filming began in early 2017, and the series was released on October 12, 2018. [5] McConnell was principally responsible for editing and post-production. She shot and edited many of the promotional posters herself, [6] and recorded her own voiceovers for the baking segments of each episode.

The show received critical praise for the mixture of retro styling and Gothic aesthetic, use of puppetry , and quirky charm of the series, [7] while pointing out that lack of directions, unfamiliarity with some of the specialist materials used, and the elaborate construction of the creations would mean making them was beyond most home cooks. [5] [7] [8]

The New Yorker commented that "As cooking lessons, McConnell's demos are almost entirely useless", but the show, "like her Instagram, is beautiful, morbid, bizarre, and raunchy [and] becomes a wonderfully fantastical take on the classic dump-and-stir cooking show". [5]

Emma Stefansky of Thrillist also posted a positive review, calling it "a perfectly creepy cooking show". [9] The Washington Post labelled her creations "elaborate dishes that are simultaneously delicious and disturbing". [8] The Daily Dot described the series as "silly, sly, and utterly charming". [7] USA Today listed it as one of their "top five best baking TV shows to binge-watch this weekend". [10]

Christine discovers Edgar the werewolf on her front doorstep, and makes peanut butter and chocolate bones, constructs a decorated cake mansion, and a creature out of cereal treats to welcome him into the household.

Next door neighbor Mr. Ketcham visits to complain about the noise, so Christine makes him some spooky cookies, peppermint bark horns and hand-carved candles as a good will gesture. While she is busy baking, the creatures band together to kidnap and torture him. He accepts the gifts, but refuses her apologies.

Christine gets clothing advice from Vivienne, and makes wolf claw donuts for her dead grandmother, who she visits that afternoon. At the cemetery she meets Norman, and invites him to dinner. She sews a dress and makes a ‘classic’ chicken pot pie. Norman appears suspiciously familiar with knives, but they both find each other attractive.

When Christine’s cousin Evie comes to visit, Christine plans a tea party, making cups and plates out of chocolate. But after finding a will that leaves everything to Christine, her cousin decides to kill her. Two Mental Hospital Orderlies arrive and the axe wielding Evie is taken away.

It’s Rose’s birthday today. Christine and the creatures want to plan a surprise party for her. Christine makes a cake in the shape of Rose. But Rose is suspicious and thinks that Christine is making her ‘replacement’. In anger, she decides to set the house on fire. But after Christine stops Rose's plan, Christine and her creatures surprise Rose with some gifts and treats.

It’s Halloween, and Christine has made special cookies for the day. Norman comes over to help with the trick or treaters. Christine makes caramel treats that look like real spiders for the children. Evie returns, and kills Rose. Norman disposes of Christine’s cousin, and Christine brings Rose back to life.

The Curious Creations Of Christine Mcconnell
Part cooking show, part sitcom in the vein of the Addams Family and the Muppet Show set inside the enchanted home of Christine McConnell, who has attracted hundreds of thousands of social media followers with her creepy edible creations.
Christine McConnell designed the spiderweb cupboards and other parts of the house set.
It's basically Pee-Wee's Plyhouse with a bit of Addams Family and Martha Stewart. If you just watch it for what it is it's very pleasant. People who are looking for a Martha Stewart will find the other two things offputting. People who expect something macabre will find the other two things offputting. People expecting Pee-Wee will find the other things offputting. It's not any of these things, its own sick little treasure where vintage clothing meets Regretsy and a middle schooler who goths out Barbies. I love it and so does my 4 year old, but my daughter was Coraline for Halloween, her choice.

The goth baker is now the star of her own macabre food show
Just in time for Halloween, Netflix released a spooky new show starring Instagram-famous baker/model/designer/actress Christine McConnell. Over the last three years, she’s filled her Instagram page with photos of an edible insect bacchanal , a pastry face-hugger from Alien , and a shrine-like birthday cake for Freddie Mercury . Her new series, The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell , features ghastly recipes and witty banter involving a cast of monster houseguests. Here are five things to know about the star and her new TV show:
1) She’s already a Halloween legend : McConnell shot to viral fame three years ago when she decorated her parents’ Los Angeles-area home for Halloween by adding massive, spooky eyes and fangs to its exterior. After the holiday makeover lit up the internet, McConnell got approached with a number of potential deals. “I think 300 production companies or something had reached out,” McConnell tells Eater, “and they all wanted to do a reality-based show. And I don’t really watch that stuff mostly — I mean I have a few guilty pleasures — but I’m much more into scripted TV and storylines, and things like that.“
2) Her creatures were created by Henson Alternative : A producer from NBC Universal Wilshire connected with Christine, and, after a few meetings, pitched the idea of collaborating with the Jim Henson Company. “My eyes almost popped out of my head,” Christine says. “I didn’t even think that was a possibility.” They quickly took a meeting with Brian Henson and his team at Henson Alternative , and agreed to work together on the show. As for the puppets themselves, McConnell says, “I have a really huge soft spot for animals in my own personal life, and the creatures are like an embodiment of my pets — they’re really kind of more like my family.”
3) Netflix was the dream home for Christine and her curious creations : “I knew I really wanted Netflix,” McConnell says. “I didn’t think it was really a possibility, but that was our first pitch, and they called right after.” Christine is a particularly big Stranger Things fan, and thought Netflix would be the perfect fit for her eerie vision. McConnell lists Tales From the Crypt , The Addams Family , The Munsters , Dark Shadows , and The ’Burbs as big influences.
4) McConnell had a hands-on role in designing the series : “The show is really kind of like a reflection of the life that I’ve constructed,” she says. Christine sent photos of her house and some original sketches to the set designers, and they built her dream TV home from there. “When I walked onto the set and saw that it was this real thing, it was the most incredible moment of this whole experience for me,” McConnell says. She’s particularly excited about the spider web-themed kitchen cabinets, which she designed herself in Photoshop.
5) Expect new treats, a few old favorites, and some surprise guests : McConnell will prepare some all-new desserts throughout the show, as well as riffs on a few of her big hits from social media. Unlike most food shows, Curious Creations also has an actual plot. “There’s a whole story arc from the beginning to t
