Landscapers

Olivia Colman has been cast as Susan Edwards, a married woman who along with her husband, murder Susan’s parents and then spend their money.

Landscapers‘ plot synopsis: “Based on real events, Landscapers will be a four-part limited series that tells the story of killers Susan and Christopher Edwards. The pair, a mild-mannered couple from Mansfield in the UK, killed Susan’s parents and buried them in their back garden. The crime remained undiscovered for over a decade. The series is a blackly comic true-crime drama based on extensive research, hours of interviews and direct access to the accused, who have always protested their innocence of murder.

In 1998, Patricia and William Wycherley were shot dead by their daughter Susan and her husband Christopher in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Following their murders, Susan and Christopher spent years spending the murdered couple’s money while also faking letters and stories to their relatives in order to keep up with the lie that Susan’s parents were still alive. After 15 years, their crime has finally been revealed and the guilty couple was both sentenced to a minimum of 25 years of imprisonment.”

Ed Sinclair wrote the screenplays for the Alexander Payne-directed TV mini-series.

Now he must convince his closest friends, because with their help, he might actually convince the world.”

Soon she discovers he already had implanted a revolutionary monitoring device – the Made for Love – in her brain, allowing him to track her, watch her and know her thoughts and feelings as she tries to stay alive.”

Patrick Somerville wrote the screenplays for the S.J. Clarkson-driected TV series.

#blackexcellence

Genneya Walton has been cast as Chloe Barris, “the effortlessly popular, under appreciative college student with an astounding level of entitlement.”

Iman Benson has been cast as Drea Barris, “the moral center and Narrator of the show.”

Scarlet Spencer has been cast as Izzy Barris, “who’s difficult for difficulty’s sake, a pain-in-the-ass contrarian whose lack of caring only makes people want to mess with her more.”

Justin Claiborne has been cast as Pops Barris, “as lovable as he is gullible.”

Ravi Cabot-Conyers has been cast as Cam Barris, “a miscreant trouble maker and a pathological liar with the best laugh you’ve ever heard and a grin that lets him get away with anything.”

Richard Gardenhire Jr. has been cast as Brooklyn Barris, “who’s jarringly smart and well-spoken for a toddler.”

These actors and actresses join already cast Kenya Barris and Rashida Jones.

#blackexcellence’s plot synopsis: “Inspired by Barris’ irreverent, highly flawed, unbelievably honest approach to parenting, relationships, race, and culture, #blackexcellence flips the traditional sitcom family on its head. Pulling back the curtain, the series uncovers and explores the messy, unapologetic and often hilarious world of what it means to be a “new money” Black family trying to get it right in a modern world where “right” is no longer a fixed concept.”

Amazon Prime

The Wheel of Time

Priyanka Bose has been cast as Alanna Mosvani, “a member of the Aes Sedai.”

Emmanuel Imani has been cast as Ihvon, one of Alanna Mosvani’s Warders.

Taylor Napier has been cast as Maksim, one of Alanna Mosvani’s Warders.

The Wheel of Time‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by Robert Jordan, “Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story follows Moiraine (Pike), a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.”
