Peacock announced four scripted projects at the TCA Winter Press Tour that are going straight to series. They are Mr. Throwback, a mockumentary comedy starring NBA legend Stephen Curry and Adam Pally; Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, about the serial killer and the investigation into his exploits; All Her Fault, a thriller limited series adapted from the novel of the same name, about a wealthy Chicago community and its secrets; and an untitled James Wan and Simu Liu project, which Peacock calls an “espionage techno-thriller.”
David Caspe, Matthew Libman and Daniel Libman are the writers and exec producers on Mr. Throwback. Curry and Pally are executive producers and stars. The show is about a down-on-his-luck memorabilia dealer who looks for redemption by reuniting with his sixth-grade teammate, Curry.
Patrick Macmanus is the showrunner, writer and executive producer on Devil in Disguise. The series looks at the 33 young men who were murdered and buried in a crawl space beneath their killer’s house. Gacy was well-liked in his community and at times dressed up as a clown to entertain sick children.
The scripted show is inspired by the 2021 Peacock docuseries produced by NBC News Studios, John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise.
Megan Gallagher is the writer, creator and executive producer on All Her Fault. Andrea Mara wrote the book that inspired it. The show is about a boy who goes missing in upscale Chicago.
Thomas Brandon is the creator, writer and executive producer on the Wan-Liu project. Set five minutes into the future, it looks at an intelligence analyst, played by Liu, who realizes his brain has been hacked.
