Craig Robinson Fights Snakes and Gets Rich in Teaser Trailer for New Series Killing It: Watch
Craig Robinson is a snake-killing, kimono-wearing, all-American success story in the teaser trailer for Killing It. The new comedy series from Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor and writer/producer Luke Del Tredici arrives on Peacock in April. The trailer opens with Robinson standing on the balcony of a mansion overlooking the water, his flapping kimono allowing full-body access to the ocean breeze. “I know what you’re thinking: this rich prick,” he says. “But I came from nothing. And the story I’m about to tell you could only happen in the USA.” Robinson has plenty of experience working with Goor and Del Tredici, having booked several episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine as the Pontiac Bandit. In a statement, the series creators talked about their ambitions for...
MacGruber’s Jorma Taccone and John Solomon on the Influence of Walker, Texas Ranger and Who Ruined Takes on Set
From Saturday Night Live sketch to Pepsi commercials to cult classic film to now an original series, one thing remains true about MacGruber — he just can’t be stopped. The fan-favorite character played by Will Forte, created from a grab-bag of ’80s action movies cliches, continues his journey of throat-ripping and dick-punching on Peacock in eight episodes that, according to director Jorma Taccone, held nothing back. In fact, in a Zoom interview with Consequence, Taccone said that there was nothing he, Forte, and co-creator John Solomon felt was too ridiculous to include in the series. “There was nothing that we were told no about, and there was nothing that the three of us looked at each other like, ‘We shouldn’t do this.’” As Taccone explained, the only time they were ever told “no...

Peacock’s Dramatic Reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Gets First Teaser Trailer: Watch
We all know the story about how Will Smith’s life got flipped-turned upside down… or, do we? Today, Peacock has shared the first trailer for Bel-Air, a forthcoming dramatic reimagining of the beloved ’90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. While the original series — loosely based on Smith’s own upbringing in West Philadelphia — poked fun at the fish-out-of-water adventures of a working-class teen assimilating to a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles, Bel-Air aims to dive deeper into the inherent conflicts and biases of such an upheaval. It’s slated to arrive sometime in 2022. With Smith himself executive producing, Bel-Air stars rookie Jabari Banks as Bel-Air’s new Fresh Prince. While there are plenty of nods to the original show, which aired from 1990 to 1996, this reimag...

Cast, Crew & Details Revealed About New ‘Bel-Air’ Drama Series Produced By Will Smith
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Peacock / Peacock New information has been released about what many of us who grew up on Black ’90s sitcoms consider the reboot to end all reboots. Ever since it was announced last year that our beloved series, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is getting what showrunners describe as a “dramatic retelling” of the story of Will Smith’s character (of the same name) and his West Philadelphia rags to Bel-Air riches experience, our imaginations have run wild wondering just what that spin on the show would look like. It was announced earlier this year that the lead role in Bel-Air, which will stream on Peacock, will be an actor whose real-life last name is ironically Banks, Jabari Banks, and on Tuesday, the rest of the main cast was announced via Peacock’s...
Field of Dreams TV Series Up to Bat at Peacock from The Good Place’s Michael Schur
Michael Schur is building it in the streaming corn fields of Peacock, and fans will definitely come. As Deadline reports, one of the great comedy showrunners is writing a Field of Dreams TV series based on the beloved 1989 movie. These days Schur is best known as the wholesome force behind Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, and most recently, Rutherford Falls. But to very-online sports lovers, he is fondly remembered under his pseudonym Ken Tremendous as one of the co-founders of the pioneering baseball blog Fire Joe Morgan. Ostensibly started with a single purpose (getting one particularly bad broadcaster canned) the site morphed into an early explainer for advanced baseball stats and one of the funniest sources for sports analysis...
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Unveils Trailer for Final Season: Watch
Grab your hoodie and badge: The trailer for the eighth and final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is here. NBC’s beloved police sitcom returns August 12th, and if this preview is any indication, it’s going to be a pretty big “wh-oop.” The last season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine picks up right where we left off back in Season 7.

Kyle MacLachlan Cast in Joe Exotic Series as Carole Baskin’s Husband
Twin Peaks star Kyle MacLachlan has been tapped for Peacock’s Joe Exotic TV series. He will play Howard Baskin, the third husband of big cat rescue sanctuary owner Carole Baskin (Kate McKinnon), in the based-on-a-true-story show. While Howard’s story is not as sensational as that of Baskin’s second husband Don Lewis (who mysteriously disappeared in 1997), MacLachlan’s experience with the bizarre storytelling of Twin Peaks will certainly come in handy. Based on the podcast, Joe Exotic: Tiger King, the limited series will center around Carole Baskin, who learns that fellow exotic animal lover Joe “Exotic” Schreibvogel (John Cameron Mitchell) is breeding and using his big cats for profit. She sets out to shut down his venture, inciting a quickly escalating and dangerous rivalry. Related ...

Two years after making a smash hit whodunnit with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, Rian Johnson is ready to solve a different case.
