Peacock has announced plans for a new competition murder series called "Assassins," marking its expansion in the genre following the success of "Traitors." The project, produced by Scarlett Johansson, Brien Meagher, and Rhett Bachner at B17 Entertainment, a part of Sony Pictures Television, will delve into the popular social game where players attempt to secretly eliminate their assigned targets to become the last person standing.
Every participant is both hunter and hunted, with alliances shifting and deception being a key element. Johansson, known for her work on films like "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Eleanor the Great," is making her acting debut as a producer with this reality series. "Traitors" has inspired similar murder-themed shows on other platforms, such as Disney's "The Mob" and Netflix's "Million Dollar Secret."
Peacock's unscripted content lineup also includes "Love Island USA" and various "Real Housewives" franchises.
