‘Clue’ Series from ‘Wicked’ Writer & ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ Director Lands at Peacock

“Clue,” a scripted series based on the murder-mystery board game, has found a home at Peacock, Deadline has learned.

The project hails from showrunner/writer Dana Fox (Wicked, Cruella) and director Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Neighbors), who will bring a modern twist to the colorful cast of characters.

When a group of strangers are invited to an eccentric billionaire’s murder-mystery night to solve the famous questions — who, where and with what — they quickly discover that nothing is what it seems to be, and the stakes are even higher than life or death.

Sony Pictures Television and Hasbro Entertainment took “Clue” out in October, garnering interest from multiple platforms before landing at Peacock for development.

Fox and Stoller will executive produce alongside Hasbro Entertainment’s Head of TV Gabriel Marano, Margy Love of Foxy, Inc., and Conor Welch of Stoller Global Solutions.

Meanwhile, Netflix recently greenlit a “Clue” reality competition series. Both projects stem from the 2024 deal Sony signed with Hasbro for the film and TV rights to the classic game.

Clue has sold more than 150 million copies since its launch in 1949. The first adaptation came in the form of Jonathan Lynn’s 1985 film starring Tim Curry.
