Peacock Developing Scripted Clue Series From Dana Fox, Directed by Nicholas Stoller

The project pairs Sony-backed showrunner Dana Fox with director Nicholas Stoller for a modern comedic whodunit.

Overview

  • Peacock picked up the hourlong adaptation for development, not a series order, based on the classic Hasbro board game.
  • The series is framed as a contemporary murder mystery with comedic overtones in the vein of Knives Out and Peacock’s Poker Face.
  • A logline describes strangers summoned to an eccentric billionaire’s murder mystery night where the stakes quickly escalate.
  • Sony Pictures Television and Hasbro Entertainment shopped the project in October, and Peacock’s domestic deal lets Sony retain international rights.
  • Fox and Stoller executive produce alongside Gabriel Marano, Margy Love and Conor Welch, and a separate unscripted Clue series has been greenlit at Netflix under the broader Sony–Hasbro rights pact.
