CBS All Access has ordered to series “Tell Me a Story”, described as a fantasy-psychological thriller from Scream writer and “Vampire Diaries” co-creator Keven Williamson.

The first season of the anthology series, which takes the world’s most beloved fairy tales and reimagines them as a dark and twisted psychological thriller, will interweave “The Three Little Pigs”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and “Jack and the Beanstalk” into a subversive tale of love, loss, greed, revenge and murder.

It will be interested to see how these are interpreted on a series, especially with stories like “The Three Little Pigs”.

The news was first reported by Tracking Board. Watch for more info as it comes in.

Looking for New Episodes of “Chucky” on Peacock? Here’s What Changed

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about this week’s episode of “Chucky” Season 3, which aired on USA and SYFY last night and was expected to be available on Peacock today. After all, we had previously been told that all new episodes of “Chucky” would be available for streaming the day after they aired, an exciting change from previous seasons of the hit horror series.

And while last week’s mid-season premiere of “Chucky” indeed did arrive on Peacock last Thursday, this week’s episode – titled “Panic Room” – is currently missing from the service.

So what’s going on here? The official @PeacockTVCare customer service account over on Twitter has been responding to fans who are wondering why they can’t stream this week’s episode of “Chucky” on Peacock, and their answer indicates a shift from the original plan.

They write, “New episodes of ‘Chucky’ Season 3 will be available on Peacock 7 days after they air on Syfy.”

That means that “Panic Room” won’t be available for streaming on Peacock until Wednesday, April 24, the same day the second-to-last episode of Season 3 arrives on USA and SYFY.

This a huge bummer for all the cord cutters out there, and anyone who’s unable to watch new episodes of “Chucky” as they air live on USA and/or SYFY. The show’s Peacock strategy has been wildly all over the place from the beginning, but it’s especially strange to have been promised next-day streaming only for the plan to suddenly change without any warning.

Just two more episodes remain in the back half of “Chucky” Season 3, which was split in half as a result of last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The final two episodes, “There Will Be Blood” and “Final Destination,” will be airing on April 24 and May 1, which means you can expect “There Will Be Blood” on Peacock May 1 and “Final Destination” on Peacock May 8.

A shame, considering these final three episodes are BONKERS in the best of ways.
