Kristen Bell sees dead people — or does she? — as the title character in Netflix‘s The Woman in the House.

Ordered to series on Tuesday by the streaming giant, The Woman in the House stars the onetime Good Place resident as Anna, a heartbroken woman for whom every day is the same. (We’ve all been there, amiright?!) Per the official synopsis for the darkly comic thriller, Anna “sits with her wine, staring out the window, watching life go by without her. But when a handsome neighbor moves in across the street, she starts to see a light at the end of the tunnel. That is until she witnesses a gruesome murder…. Or did she?”

Bell is also an executive producer on the eight-episode limited series, which was created by Nobodies‘ Rachel Ramras, Hugh Davidson and Larry Dorf and also counts Gloria Sanchez Productions’ Will Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, and Brittney Segal among its EPs.

Additionally, Marti Noxon (Dietland, Sharp Objects) will serve as a creative consultant on the series.

Yet another story beloved by children of the 1980s is about to get another chapter.

Disney+ has ordered a tv series that will serve as a sequel to Willow, Ron Howard and George Lucas’ 1988 fantasy film about a farmer who finds himself wrapped up in an epic journey. The streaming service announced the series order Tuesday.

Warwick Davis, who played Willow Ufgood in the movie, will reprise his character in the TV series. The continuation will take place two years after the events of the film and will introduce new characters.

“So many fans have asked me over the years if Willow will make a return, and now I”m thrilled to tell them that he will indeed,” Davis said via statement. “Many have told me they grew up with Willow and that the film has influenced how they view heroism in our own world. If Willow Ufgood can represent the heroic potential in all of us, then he is a character I am extremely honored to reprise.”

In the film, Willow must keep a much-sought-after infant girl out of the clutches of the evil Queen Bavmorda, who believes the child will bring about the end of her dark reign. He is joined on his journey by Madmartigan, a fighter played by Val Kilmer (Top Gun).

Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) will executive-produce with showrunners Jonathan Kasdan (Solo), Wendy Mericle (Arrow) and Howard. Chu also will direct the pilot. Bob Dolman, who wrote the original film, will serve as a consulting producer. Lucasfilm will produce the series.

Legendary Entertainment is finalizing the last details to secure the screen rights to one of sci-fi's oldest and most underused characters, Buck Rogers.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production company behind the upcoming epic "Dune" and movies like "Pacific Rim" and "Hellboy" is visualizing a big-screen project that would pave the way for a television series and an anime series, telling tales of sci-fi action and adventure in the 25th century.

Planning a Buck movie, series and anime? That always works out well. Like The Dark Tower.

Clone Wars is the only one I can think of with a theatrical movie to launch a series

Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films is teaming with Copperheart Entertainment, producers of the Ginger Snaps trilogy of cult horror films, on a TV series adaptation of the darkly comic tale of teenage sisterhood. The project is executive produced by John Fawcett, co-creator and director of the original film and co-creator and executive producer of BBC America’s award-winning series, Orphan Black.

Anna Ssemuyaba (Guerilla) will write the potential Ginger Snaps TV series, which tells the story of sisters, Ginger and Brigette, who are self-imposed outcasts in their hometown. Inseparable and fascinated with the macabre, they make a pact to escape their sleepy suburban home by sixteen or else take their own lives. But on the night of her first period, Ginger is attacked and infected by a werewolf which unleashes a monstrous kind of puberty. Brigette can’t understand this new version of her sister who is violent and sexual. As a bloody trail begins to form in Ginger’s wake, Brigette must find a way to curb her sister’s new cravings or risk losing her forever.

Das Boot, the Sky Original series, has been renewed for a third season. Produced by Bavaria Fiction for Sky Studios, the latest season will be shot in 8k with Dolby Atmos, an increase on the UHD format of the previous two series. The show is a sequel to the 1981 film of the same name, chronicling two narratives, one based on land around the French Resistance, the other set around German U-boat U-612 and its crew.

Written by Grellong, Antarctica is set in the near future after a changing climate has reshaped the globe. In it, a tenacious, uncompromising FBI agent on the run from a scandal in her past is transferred to a remote outpost where she gets embroiled in the colonization of America’s 51st state – Antarctica.

Grellong executive produces with Osprey Prods’ Berman and Jen Robinson. Sony Picture Television is the studios.

As an emerging playwright, Grellong started his TV career on Law & Order: SVU. He has since worked on Fox’s Terra Nova, NBC’s Revolution, and CBS’ Scorpion and Hawaii Five-0. Grellong is currently a writer/executive producer on Sony TV’s hit Amazon series The Boys. Last year, Grellong and Berman’s Osprey Productions developed The Hill at NBC.

Nicole Kidman is coming undone again.

Amazon has handed a straight-to-series order to Things I Know To Be True, a family drama starring and exec produced by the Oscar and Emmy-winning actress. A rep for the streamer confirms to TVLine that the project is being conceived as an ongoing series (like Kidman’s HBO smash Big Little Lies) vs. a limited one (like her current HBO thriller The Undoing).

Based on Andrew Bovell’s Australian play, Things I Know To Be True “is about the resilience of an enduring marriage and the evolving nature of a family’s love, as Bob and Fran Price watch their adult children make unexpected decisions which change the course of their lives.”

In a statement, Kidman gushed, “I’ll never forget the experience I had watching Andrew’s play in Sydney, having one of those transcendent theater experiences. Andrew’s play is exquisite and his scripts for the series are just as good. With Amazon’s belief, Jen Salke’s guidance, and an extraordinary producing team, we have big hopes for what this can be.”

Added Bovell: “This is a story about family, that thing you spend your life trying to escape from only to yearn for what you’ve lost if you ever do. I’m thrilled that an actor of Nicole Kidman’s calibre leads the series in the role of Fran Price. As a mother and a woman she is complicated, difficult and utterly compelling.
