FULFILLED (CBS, New!) - Morgan Lehmann has sold a multi-camera comedy to the Eye billed as "an honest exploration of the underpaid workers at the Rockford, IL fulfillment center and the absurd micromanagement they face to pack and ship the salad tongs you ordered drunk at 2 AM."

LINE, THE (BET+, New!) - Jinho "Piper" Ferreira has sold a potential drama to the streamer, inspired by true events, which "focuses on Oakland activists Ricky and Angela Roberts, who have been local figures in the anti-police movement for years. But when a close friend is murdered by police, Ricky embarks on a life-changing journey. Placing his family, his reputation, and his life on the line, Ricky decides to become a cop and either transform the system from the inside out or die trying." William Wheeler, Bibby Dunn, Katie Myers and Mark Gordon also executive produce for Mark Gordon Pictures. (Deadline.com)
TELL ME LIES (Hulu) - Jackson White will star opposite Grace Van Patten in the Carola Lovering adaptation, which follows a tumultuous but intoxicating relationship as it unfolds over the course of 8 years. When Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco meet at college, they are at that formative age when seemingly mundane choices lead the way to irrevocable consequences. Although their relationship begins like any typical campus romance, they quickly fall into an addictive entanglement that will permanently alter not only their lives, but the lives of everyone around them.
