"Everything I worked hard for is over...!" Netflix has unveiled a trailer for an intriguing "limited series" titled True Story, arriving streaming starting in November this fall. The tagline is "betrayal is relative" and the synopsis opens with the question "How far will you go to protect your own?" Kevin Hart stars in this as a famous comedian called The Kid, who ends up in over his head when his tour stops in his hometown of Philadelphia. This isn't Hart's first time mixing drama with his real-life role as a comedian, as he also made What Now? a few years ago. But this looks much more dark and twisty, with a few episodes directed by a director on "Watchmen" and "Westworld".

TLC’s Howard Lee has said that more spin-offs are in the works for ratings juggernaut “90 Day Fiancé.”
The show, produced by Sharp Entertainment, began airing in 2014 and has spawned nine spin-offs, including “Before the 90 Days,” “The Other Way,” “What Now?,” “Pillow Talk,” “The Family Chantel,” the Covid-19 themed “Self-Quarantined,” “Happily Ever After,” “B90 Strikes Back!” and most recently, “Darcey and Stacey.”
One or two more spinoffs are in the works, said Lee, speaking as part of the Edinburgh TV Festival this week. “We listened to the audience, and it is very important to us that we don’t just create a spinoff or a sequel or something else, that’s just for the sake of doing it,” said Lee, president and general manager of the Discovery-owned channel. “We want to make sure that we are not just ripping ourselves off franchise after franchise. There is always a need when we start something new.

Kevin Hart will star in the Quibi original series Action Scene, a comedic action-thriller based on the frenetic opening scene of his 2016 concert film Kevin Hart: What Now? His company Laugh Out Loud is producing.
Executive produced by Kevin Hart, his longtime business Jeff Clanagan and Dave Becky, Action Scene will feature Hart playing a fictionalized version of himself on a quest to land the action-movie role of a lifetime.

SATURDAY AM UPDATE: Warner Bros's The Accountant is looking at an easy first place finish after bringing in an estimated $9 million on Friday (including $1.35 million on Thursday), heading toward an opening weekend around $24-25 million. While our weekend preview had doubts the film could climb quite so high based on critical reviews (which have now settled in just above 50% on RottenTomatoes), opening day audiences took to the film, awarding it an "A" CinemaScore.
