Glover brothers to helm PUBG series

Donald Glover is set to star in a live-action Netflix series based on the video game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Variety reported that Glover and his brother Stephen Glover will write and direct the project. The adaptation will center on the battle royale gameplay where 100 players fight to become the last survivor in a shrinking area.

The show is in the early stages of development with no plot details released yet. The game's official description notes the setting as a shrinking battleground where opponents compete for survival.

MGM+ will premiere Bosch: Start of Watch on Jan. 10. The prequel series follows 26-year-old Harry Bosch during his earliest days as a rookie cop in Los Angeles. Cameron Monaghan will portray the character, while Omari Hardwick plays veteran officer Eli Bridges. The show explores the origin story of the detective from Michael Connelly's novels.

Prime Video added eight actors to the cast of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. The new additions include Patricia Clarkson, Elizabeth Marvel, Sean Astin, Annaleigh Ashford, Felix Solis, Chris Walley, Daniella Garcia, and Eliza Bennett. Penn Badgley previously joined the project to play Ern Cunningham, who is trapped in a snowstorm with his family. The dark comedy series is adapted from a novel by comedian Benjamin Stevenson.
