The Traitors producer Studio Lambert has struck a first-look deal with Daniel Lawrence Taylor, the creator of critically-rated BBC and Tubi dramedy Boarders.

With Boarders soon wrapping after three seasons, Studio Lambert said the deal will “mark a significant new chapter” in the pair’s collaboration.

All3Media-backed Studio Lambert is best known for formats like The Traitors and Gogglebox but Boarders is its first drama to go beyond one season. The show, which airs on Tubi in the States, will return for a third run next year. It centers around the lives of five young Black teens who earn scholarships to the prestigious boarding school of St. Gilbert’s. Josh Tedeku leads and supporting cast/guests include Wunmi Mosaku, Alan Cumming and Lawrence Taylor.

Lawrence Taylor is also the creator and star of the BAFTA-nominated ITV cult hit Timewasters, which he created and starred in.

The cast of director Mason Maestro’s new slasher flick "That's a Wrap." has gathered together for the wrap party. As the festivities go on everyone splinters off, to celebrate the flick, but mostly each other. However, they are unaware that the slasher from the movie, The Mistress, has left the screen and will turn the evening into a real-life, bloody nightmare. We are a plus-one in Marcel Walz’s lurid, neon-soaked bloodbath, That’s A Wrap. Walz’s indie slasher film is a silly, self-aware slasher flick that features a lot of hot and steamy action - wink wink nudge nudge - that always leads into deliciously violent murder and mayhem. Why so hot and steamy? That’s A Wrap stars a couple of notable adult-oriented performers....

A major, possibly key plot element in writer-director Greg Pritikin’s middling psychological/supernatural thriller, The Mistress, turns on whether a newly married, LA-based, 30-something couple, Parker (John Magaro) and Madeline (Chasten Harmon), can get a refund on their down payment and/or terminate their mortgage contract if the sellers didn’t fully disclose whether their new Victorian Era home was, in fact or tradition, “haunted.” It becomes a point of conflict, though not a reason or rationale for staying put long after things begin to go bump in the dark and the evidence begins to pile up that they’re not the only long-term inhabitants of their new home. The apparent “duty to disclose” (a haunting) also extends to the troubled relationship at the center of the generically named...

This premiered at a couple of regional film festivals last year, and will be getting a VOD release at the end of July this summer. Newlyweds move into their dream home where they discover 100-year-old letters from a young woman who committed suicide after being abandoned by the owner. Parker struggles with ghostly disturbances, while Maddie suspects he's hiding something dark from his past. John Magaro co-stars with Chasten Harmon, plus Kat Cunning, Aylya Marzolf, Alexandra Grey, James Carpinello, and Rae Dawn Chong.
