SHOW MUST GO ON, THE (Peacock, New!) - Writer Austin Winsberg and director Richard Shepard are developing "a darkly comedic murder mystery anthology series" at the streamer in which "each season would take place in the days leading up to a big, live, televised event and would tackle a new murder with a refreshed cast."

As if putting on a giant, live, beloved musical isn't enough of a challenge, imagine how hard it will be with endless production problems, warring stars, mounting network pressures, and, oh yeah, the gruesome and untimely death of one of the leads.

She does not like to read, never graduated college, doesn't have a job that pays her enough to live on, and yet feels entitled to her parents' lifestyle. But she's strong-willed and self-possessed, a person who knows exactly what she wants in life, even if she's a little delusional about how to get it." (Deadline.com)
