Lilith soon forms an alliance with an unexpected team - Roland (Kevin Hart), a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Florian Munteanu), Tina's musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap (Jack Black), a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power.

 THE HOLIDAY THRILLER SERIES

CHANNEL 5 SETS LEAD CAST

Channel 5 has been probably the only British channel to give us something to watch during the corona year, and now they have set the cast for

Jill Halfpenny will take the lead role

THE HOLIDAY thriller series, an adaptation of TM Logan's popular novel which I announced last year. Jill Halfpenny who lead their Drowning this spring, will also lead this one as Kate, a woman who discovers that her husband is having an affair during a luxurious holiday somewhere in the Mediterranean.

EMILY BEECHAM TO LEAD SPOOKY GOTHIC PERIOD SET SERIES 1899 OVER AT NETFLIX SET ON A DOOMED STEAMSHIP! HOLIDAY AND LIFE AFTER LIFE NOVELS TO BECOME SERIES AT CHANNEL 5 AND BBC

   EMILY BEECHAM TO LEAD  

1899 PERIOD SET SERIES

Emily Beecham will board the steamship

But it will be a period set horror, I must emphasize. Netflix has cast Into the Badlands star Emily Beecham as the first name in the cast for their period set horror drama 1899 which will be shot in eight episodes. Although it will be an English language series, it will use other languages as well due to the plot, which revolves around a migrant steamship heading from London to New York a year before the 20th century. When the passengers discover another migrant boat adrift, their journey descends into horrifying nightmare! Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese, who created Dark series for Netflix, are behind this one as well. It will be a European show with a mixed cast from different countries. At its heart is the question of what unites us and what divides us. You will see Beecham first next to Emma Stone in Cruella origins movie which is going straight to Disney+ thanks to Covid. 

  CHANNEL 5 TO ADAPT  

THE HOLIDAY INTO MINI SERIES

Speaking of horrors, a horror of a different kind will be seen in Channel 5's four part mini series THE HOLIDAY to be made based on T. M. Logan's popular best seller! Michael Crompton is adapting the story

about a woman who discovers her husband is having an affair on the first day of a holiday with their closest friends. The vacation soon becomes a nightmare as she suspects one of her friends of being involved in the tryst!

  BBC TO TURN LIFE AFTER LIFE  

INTO A FOUR PART TV SERIES

Rival BBC is, meanwhile, set to make their own four part TV series out of Kate Atkinson's novel LIFE AFTER LIFE which is set to shoot next spring telling the vivid story of the alternate lives of Ursula Todd, who dies one night

Kate Atkinson's book will be adapted for BBC
