Universal Television produced the series, which found a loyal audience and was seemingly only cancelled because of a timeslot change in its final season.<\/p>\n<p>A failed attempt was made over a decade ago to develop the property as a series with Octavia Spencer before it was scrapped in development. News came in 2023 that Universal Pictures was working on a film adaptation with Curtis confirming her involvement last year.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo (\u201cDumb Money\u201d) have penned the film while the \u201cSpider-Verse\u201d team of Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal are producing.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/murder-she-wrote-movie-jamie-lee-curtis-release-1236546908\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">THR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/teaser-trailer-hbos-harry-potter-tv-series\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Teaser Trailer: HBO\u2019s \u201cHarry Potter\u201d TV Series<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/costner-gyllenhaal-team-for-honeymoon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Costner, Gyllenhaal Team For \u201cHoneymoon\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon Universal Pictures has set a December 22nd 2027 release date for the Jamie Lee Curtis-led film adaptation&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566168,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,142132,134],"class_list":{"0":"post-566167","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-bigslider","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
