'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' Air Date, Spoilers & Leak: Netflix Filming Done, More Actors Confirmed In Cast

It looks like filming for Netflix's adaptation of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" (ASOUE) is finally done. And while the streaming site has made no specific announcements in casting, it also looks like the show has rounded up an amazing group of cast, aside from Neil Patrick Harris (Count Olaf) and Patrick Warburton (Lemony Snicket).

Posts on Instagram from the actors on "A Series of Unfortunate Events" confirmed that filming is already finished. Neil Patrick Harris supposedly treated the cast to cotton candy and shaved ice to celebrate the culmination of production of the shows' 8-episode offering for the first season on Netflix.

The sign on the cotton candy truck indicated that the show deserves a second season renewal even as ASOUE still haven't started its run on the streaming service. Speculations are that the TV adaptation might begin airing in either December 2016 or early 2017.

Got to love when @NPH Buys you shaved ice and cotton candy! #aseriesofunfortunateevents
