Anna Paquin (<em>Flack<\/em>, <em>The Irishman<\/em>,\u00a0<em>True Blood<\/em>), Jake Lacy (<em>The White Lotus<\/em>, <em>Being the Ricardos<\/em>), Colin Hanks (<em>The Offer<\/em>, <em>Impeachment: American Crime Story<\/em>) and Lio Tipton (<em>The Edge of Sleep<\/em>, <em>Why Women Kill<\/em>) star.<\/p>\n<p>Antosca, who will serve as showrunner, writer and executive producer on the series, will produce under his production banner Eat the Cat via his overall deal with UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. Eliza Hittman (<em>Never Rarely Sometimes Always<\/em>) is set to direct and executive produce multiple episodes. Jan Broberg and Mary Ann Broberg will also serve as producers.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Katz, president of scripted content for NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said: \u201cNick Antosca has created a compelling series in <em>A Friend of the Family\u00a0<\/em>that explores one family\u2019s unimaginable experience with great insight and sensitivity. We can\u2019t wait to see Anna Paquin, Jake Lacy, Colin Hanks and Lio Tipton bring these complex characters to life, and we know Peacock audiences will connect with this incredible story of deception and resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beatrice Springborn, president of UCP, said: \u201cAlongside Jan and Mary Ann Broberg, Nick and Alex have brought humanity to a delicate and haunting story. As he demonstrated with <em>The Act<\/em>, and now with this series, Nick treats real people not as caricatures but as complex and layered. We\u2019re proud to bring that quality and care in storytelling to Peacock.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to A Friend of the Family, a true-crime drama limited series from Nick Antosca (The Act, Channel Zero).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16343,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4864,4865,4318],"class_list":["post-16342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-a-friend-of-the-family","tag-nick-antosca","tag-peacock","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Peacock Slates New True-Crime Drama Limited Series - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Peacock Slates New True-Crime Drama Limited Series - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Peacock has given a straight-to-series order to A Friend of the Family, a true-crime drama limited series from Nick Antosca (The Act, Channel Zero).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-02-16T15:39:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-02-16T18:21:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Peacock-ViacomCBS-720.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/\",\"name\":\"Peacock Slates New True-Crime Drama Limited Series - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-02-16T15:39:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-02-16T18:21:38+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/peacock-slates-new-true-crime-drama-limited-series\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Peacock Slates New True-Crime Drama Limited Series\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
