There’s no details on what the show will be about but Johnson did said in a statement, “I’m very excited to dig into the type of fun, character driven, case-of-the-week mystery goodness I grew up watching. It’s my happy place. Having Natasha as a partner in crime is a dream, and we’ve found the perfect home at Peacock.” This marks the first foray into television for Johnson, who recently came off a hot streak with “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Knives Out....

One of the series landing a mobile game? “The Queen’s Gambit,” based on the real game of chess. During Netflix’s Geeked Week, the streamer unveiled the full list of upcoming games, with more than 50 games soon to be available to download via links in Netflix’s mobile app or from the Apple and Google app stores. The sneak peek at the “Queen’s Gambit” game includes an animated Beth Harmon, who was played by Anya Taylor-Joy in the critically acclaimed series, guiding players in chess competitions around the world....

Obviously, high-concept dating shows are far from a recent trend, but “Love Is Blind” is clever, stealing the best bits from its reality forerunners and creating something new, and in some cases, improved, with them. Its closest cultural touchpoint is “Married at First Sight,” a long-running Lifetime series that features couples who marry upon first meeting each other (as one might expect from the title) after being paired together by a panel of relationship experts....

That means that buzzy Netflix titles including Andrew Dominik’s Marilyn Monroe biopic “Blonde” — starring Ana de Armas as Monroe, and based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel — won’t be premiering on the Croisette as once rumored. Dominik previously told outlets during the Berlin Film Festival that he hoped festival director Thierry Fremaux would offer the film a world premiere at the festival. Sources close to IndieWire say that Dominik recently sent a link of the film to Fremaux, who loved it and Ana de Armas’ performance....

We’ve got exactly two weeks until NBCUniversal and Fox kick off the busy broadcast upfront week, which also includes YouTube Brandcast this year (as lines are hazy at best these days) and premium AVOD offerings from major media companies. With nearly 40 NewFronts to squeeze in before NBCU kicks off the upfronts, we’d better get going. While the same company’s Peacock had a big presence at 11 a.m. ET this morning, the day did not get off to a FAST start....

For Christensen, the stakes could not be higher. Disney’s “Star Wars” films and series have been very hit-or-miss for the passionate fanbase, and every move that he makes as the iconic villain will be endlessly scrutinized. But in a new interview with EW, Christensen did not seem particularly nervous. “Well, without getting into too much detail, it was amazing,” Christensen said. “It’s a great honor to get to put that suit on....

And yet Shyamalan’s very silly new movie — his best since “The Village,” but still a pale imitation of the slow-burn psychological thrillers that once earned him modern history’s most iconic Newsweek cover — isn’t nearly as fraught-provoking as its nature would suggest. Rather than allow this story to unfold at the real-time pace that its premise demands, Shyamalan opts instead for a hurried (if impressively perverse) series of cheap thrills that emphasize the body horror of aging over the more profound terror of feeling the years pass by....
