Beyond the cozy mysteries of Only Murders in the Building, creative minds are also gearing up for some thrilling new ventures.

This project, which has already locked in a release date of October 8th, 2027, will be a Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Pictures production.
Chase co-wrote the screenplay with Bryce McGuire, who developed the original concept, crafting what is dubbed a quintessential sleepover nightmare that promises a night of pure cinematic fright.
In other news, streaming giants are always seeking new content. Hulu recently concluded the run of the comedy series Not Suitable for Work, which premiered in June.

Television is now looking to shop the show around for a potential new home.
Meanwhile, Peacock is offering a deep dive into the often-complicated world of celebrity and fame with a new documentary.
