Netflix has not yet announced the actual date of when the first season of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (ASOUE) begins streaming on the platform, but the planning continues behind the scenes. The writers have apparently started working on the second season Wednesday night. ASOUE's author Daniel Handler, who is also overseeing the show, has met with his writing team at his home.
Photos from Daniel Handler's wife's Instagram account showed that the writers of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" are back at work. Lisa Brown shared less than half a dozen shots of ASOUE books as well as the team gathered around a table with their laptops, pads and pencils.
Behind them was a board where the storylines have been laid out, though Lisa Brown made sure to blur this. The captions on the photos do not specifically indicate the purpose of this gathering. However, it's easy for eager fans to conclude that they are now brainstorming and planning "A Series of Unfortunate Events" Season 2.

It was only back in August that "A Series of Unfortunate Events" wrapped up filming the first season in Vancouver, per a previous Parent Herald report. But it makes sense for the writers to immediately return to work because time element is crucial in this particular TV series.
The books of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" were released from 1999 to 2006, but the time that elapsed in the actual stories are a lot shorter. Unofficial Snicket Faq established that the entire story of ASOUE took place within four months only, though others say it took a little over a year. Regardless, the cast of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" might be required to return to work soon since the children lead actors -- Malina Weissman (Voilet) and Louis Hynes (Klaue) -- age faster in the real life than in the events in the books.
Meanwhile, as Neil Patrick Harris (Count Olaf) has confirmed, "A Series of Unfortunate Events" Season 1 is going to cover the first four books from its 13-book releases. It is expected that the show will debut in early 2017 on Netflix.
