Clue Series Lands at Peacock for Development
Peacock has picked up a new TV show based on the classic board game Clue.
The show is being made by Dana Fox and Nicholas Stoller, who are known for other popular projects.
The game Clue is about solving a murder mystery with different characters, weapons, and rooms.
The TV show will have a modern twist and will be a mix of mystery and comedy, similar to movies like Knives Out.
Peacock is a streaming service where you can watch TV shows and movies.
The show is still in development, which means it's not ready to watch yet, but they are working on making it.
The board game Clue has been around since 1949 and has sold over 150 million copies.
There was also a movie made from the game in 1985.
This new TV show is different from an animated Clue series that was planned but didn't happen.
Clue, a scripted series adaptation of the classic board game, has been picked up by Peacock for development.
The project is being developed by writer/executive producer Dana Fox and director/executive producer Nicholas Stoller.
Sony Pictures Television and Hasbro Entertainment are behind the project, with Sony TV retaining international rights.
The show is described as a murder mystery with comedic overtones, similar to Rian Johnson's Knives Out franchise and Poker Face series.
The board game Clue, released in 1949, has sold over 150 million copies and was adapted into a 1985 movie starring Tim Curry.
