The title refers to "a purgatory where five recently-dead women meet and discover that their entire lives were merely in service to the superhero men they happened to cross paths with, resulting in each of their deaths."

No other auspices were given. (Deadline.com)
FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL (Hulu) - Tom Mison, Ashley Madekwe and Tommy Dewey have all scored roles on the film-turned-TV series. They're set as Quentin, Julia and Ted, respectively. No other details about their characters were given. (Deadline.com)

THREADS (ABC, New!) - Lindsey Rosin has booked a potential drama at the Alphabet about "aspiring designer Jessica Lee, who finds herself at the center of the biggest battle for power in the fashion world when the legendary founder of the iconic brand - where she currently works as an assistant - is forced to step down, setting off a cutthroat, high-stakes search for his replacement."
