Blumhouse and Oxygen Will Explore Florida’s Craziest Killers in True Crime Series “Florida Man”
Oxygen is expanding its slate of true crime programming with a handful of new shows, THR has reported today, including one titled “Florida Man” from Blumhouse Television.
“Oxygen is tremendously excited to work with some of the biggest names in the industry on such important projects,” said Rod Aissa, executive vp original programming and development. “This year we’ve increased our original hours by more than 30 percent, and we’ll keep ramping up our programming efforts as more fans flock to the network to experience best-in-class content.”
In “Florida Man,” Blumhouse TV and Man vs. Robot will examine the most outrageous, notorious and craftiest killers from the Sunshine State.
The hilarious official description reads, “When a crime sounds like it came straight from a Hollywood screenplay, there’s a good chance it was committed by a Florida Man.”
Other true crime shows in development from Oxygen include “The DNA of Murder,” “The Lover’s Lane Murders,” “Exploited,” “Framed by the Killer” and “The Jane Doe Murders.”
The second season of animated spinoff “Velma” is now streaming on Max, and it sounds like Velma and the “Scooby-Doo” gang may also be headed back into the world of live action.
Variety reports this afternoon that Netflix is planning a live action “Scooby-Doo” television series, with the streamer actively “nearing a deal” with Warner Bros. Television.
The series is being described in Variety’s report as a “one-hour drama project,” with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg attached to write and executive produce.
Executive producers on the upcoming “Scooby-Doo” Netflix series also include André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner for Midnight Radio, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman executive producing through Berlanti Productions. Varierty’s report continues, “Jonathan Gabay of Berlanti Productions and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.”
“Scooby-Doo” has mostly been an animated series over the years, but there were two live action movies in 2002 and 2004: Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
The live action cast for those two films included Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, and Linda Cardellini as Velma.
