Set to premiere in 2018, Roker’s The Midnight Show Murders will star Holly Robinson Peete and revolves around a fictional TV morning show similar to Hallmark’s Home & Family. Billy Blessing is the food anchor for the show and owner of a successful local bistro. After the mysterious death of one of the network execs, Billy’s life takes a turn as she becomes the main suspect in the murder investigation and is forced to investigate to clear her name.
The Adjuster will be loosely based on Smith’s real-life experiences and her professional work. The movie centers on a burned-out ex-district attorney and single mom Sydney Polk, who moves with her two teenage sons to a small town seeking a simpler life. However, she ends up finding more drama than she anticipated, while working on her weekly podcast “Problem Solved,” where everyday people call in to share their own personal problems. As things in her life get more chaotic, Sydney tries to balance her natural ability to help people with her own life.
