One of the most shocking news in recent times was the cancellation of Impassive face in the hands of Peacock. Not only because of the reception of its two seasons, but also because showrunner Ryan Johnson look for a new platform now…and plan to Peter Dinklage replace Natacha Lyonne as the protagonist of the hypothetical third season. We’ll see how that goes, but what’s curious is that Peacock thinks a space has opened up for a detective series and is exploring options.
It is then appropriate to ask why he canceled Impassive face in the first place, although, of course, they will rely on consolidated intellectual property to achieve this. And, according to Hollywood journalistwhat is the service streaming Universal now wants to adapt the very famous board game Cluedo. Created in 1948 and called Hint in English, the Cluedo It’s a universally known game where we pretend to be detectives. It had such a cultural influence that it was adapted for occasions before Peacock appeared.
This is how it happened in 1985 The suspicion gamewith Tim Curry or Christopher Lloyd in distribution. Later, we attempted to adapt the mechanics of Cluedo without much luck: Ryan Reynolds decided to make a new film in 2018, which he tried to ensure Jason Bateman as director and then falling into the hands of James Bobin and then, with the coronavirus, it was finally sidelined.
Sony has acquired the rights to Hasbro in 2024, and it turns out that at present the Peacock series is not the only project assigned to this IP: Netflix develops a competition inspired by Cluedo.
Sticking with the Peacock project, the performers have yet to be tested but the main creatives are said to be Dana Fox as showrunner (which comes from co-writing the screenplay for Villain: Part 2) And Nicholas Stoller as chapter director, famous for signing comedies such as fucking neighbors either I move on from you. The series of Cluedo has not yet received the green light from Peacock.
