Lifetime Orders Christmas in the Spotlight; Hulu Sets Murdaugh Murders Series

Christmas in the Spotlight - Jessica Lord and Laith Wallschleger

Lifetime greenlights Christmas in the Spotlight as part of the network's 2024 It's A Wonderful Lifetime movie slate, starring Jessica Lord (Find Me In Paris, The Next Step), Laith Wallschleger (The Rookie, All American), Emmy award winning host and producer Jeannie Mai and TikTok content creator and influencer Haley Kalil (haleyybaylee, 23M followers across social platforms), who makes her television debut. Christmas in the Spotlight is a holiday romance that explores the possibility of a love that can shine even under the bright lights of fame.

Christmas in the Spotlight follows Bowyn (Lord), a popular musician and celebrity, who despite always singing about love and relationships, hasn't found Mr. Right yet. Her fame and busy recording schedule make it nearly impossible to date, but when she meets Drew (Wallschleger), a pro football player, backstage at her show with his niece, there's an undeniable spark between the two of them. When Drew publicly declares he has a crush on Bowyn, they decide to give dating a shot, much to the excitement of her manager Mira (Mai). With each passing day they spend together, their feelings grow stronger... but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules? With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family, including Drew's sister-in-law, Nicole (Kalil). The pair has until the end of the holiday season to decide if they want to stay together, or let it go down in flames.

Patricia Arquette

Hulu announced a limited series order for drama project Untitled Murdaugh Murders, from co-creator and showrunner Michael D. Fuller (Quarry, Rectify and Locke & Key) and co-creator Erin Lee Carr (Britney vs Spears, I Love You, Now Die and Mommy Dead and Dearest), starring Patricia Arquette as Maggie Murdaugh. Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund for Eat the Cat will executive produce along with Mandy Matney. UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio. The series is based on Maggie and Alex Murdaugh's stranger-than-fiction family drama, a riveting account drawing from countless hours of reporting by Mandy Matney - journalist and creator of the popular "Murdaugh Murders Podcast" - as well as exclusive, insider knowledge from years spent following the case.

Hulu's Child Stars Documentary; Keke Palmer Heads to The 'Burbs for Peacock

Hulu has debuted the official trailer and key art for upcoming documentary Child Star. The Demi Lovato-directed doc will debut on Hulu on September 17, 2024. Child Star explores the highs and lows of growing up in the spotlight through the lens of some of the world's most well-known former child stars. Through celebrity interviews, verite scenes, and archival footage, this film deconstructs the stages of earlier stardom and looks at the entertainment system over the last century. Lovato sits down with iconic former child stars such as Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson, Christina Ricci, Raven-Symoné, JoJo Siwa, Alyson Stoner, and more, to reflect on their personal experiences working in the entertainment industry in never-before-heard stories. Together they take a look at the next generation of child actors and how to move forward in an ever-changing landscape. The film will mark Demi Lovato’s directorial debut with Nicola Marsh co-directing with OBB Pictures, SB Films, and DLG are producing.

Child Star is directed by Demi Lovato and Nicola Marsh. The film is produced by OBB’s Michael D. Ratner, Scott Ratner, Miranda Sherman, Kfir Goldberg and Demi Lovato. It’s executive produced by Nicola B. Marsh, SB’s Scooter Braun, Scott Manson, Jen McDaniels, and James Shin. Glenn Stickley serves as co-executive producer.

Keke Palmer

Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to The 'Burbs, a new series adaptation of the 1989 film of the same name. Celeste Hughey (Palm Royale, Dead to Me) will write and executive produce the series starring Emmy(R) Award winner Keke Palmer (Nope, Password), who will also executive produce. Seth MacFarlane (Ted), Erica Huggins and Aimee Carlson for Fuzzy Door will executive produce alongside Brian Grazer (Empire, Arrested Development), Kristen Zolner and Natalie Berkus for Imagine Entertainment. Dana Olsen, the writer of the 1989 film, will serve as co-executive producer on the series. UCP (Suits, Ted), a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio behind the series.

The series adaptation is the latest project from Fuzzy Door under its overall television deal with UCP. The series will film in Los Angeles at the same location as the original 1989 film, the backlot of Universal Studios Hollywood. From Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment, The 'Burbs (1989) was a horror-comedy produced by Brian Grazer and starring Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher. Set in present-day suburbia, The 'Burbs follows a young couple returning to the husband's childhood home. Their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.

Nick at Nite Acquires Modern Family; SNL Stars Go Live on Peacock Next Thursday

Nickelodeon announced the addition of Modern Family, the 22-time Emmy(R) Award-winning acclaimed comedy series, to its Nick at Nite programming lineup beginning Monday, September 9. All 11 seasons of Modern Family will debut in Nickelodeon's nighttime programming block and air daily from 2-4 a.m. (ET/PT). The series joins a stellar roster of popular family comedies, including Emmy(R) Award-winning shows Friends, Mike & Molly and Mom, as well as beloved sitcoms Young Sheldon and The Neighborhood, and marks the first time the sitcom will air within Paramount's family of brands. The series is leaving NBCUniversal cable networks (currently on E! and prior to that on USA Network). The series will continue to air on TBS, though.

The family at the center of Modern Family is headed by Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill), who is now married to his second wife, the young, gorgeous Gloria (Sofía Vergara), assumed by some to be his daughter. In their loving care is Gloria's daydreaming son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Jay's driven daughter, Claire (Julie Bowen), and her real estate agent husband, Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell), want an open, healthy relationship with their three kids, which isn't always easy. Their oldest daughter, Haley (Sarah Hyland), grows up a little too fast. Middle child, Alex (Ariel Winter), is a too-smart-for-her-own-good daughter, and the youngest, Luke (Nolan Gould), is a rambunctious son. Where Phil wants to be the "cool dad," Claire is determined to keep her kids from walking in the wayward footsteps of her younger days. Jay's very serious son, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), and his gregarious husband, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), become doting parents to Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons), the sweet Vietnamese girl they adopt. Though life isn't always tidy, politically correct, or predictable, it's always loving, heartwarming, and hilarious for this blended, extended - and truly modern - family.

Premiering on HGTV Friday, October 4, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the new series will feature a former jail inhabited by bats, an alleged mobster hideout and a crumbling home that gives off witchy vibes. Retta, a comedian, actress and home design enthusiast, will tour nine eerie and terrifying houses through the Midwest, Northeast and South that have everything from built-in death traps and questionable taxidermy to daunting basements and ghost sightings.

Retta will share hilariously unfiltered views about each home's scary appearance, bad function and fright factor. HGTV will deem one house the "scariest" of them all and award the homeowners a $150,000 renovation by popular network designer Alison Victoria.
