Phoenix Pictures and Renaissance Literary & Talent are teaming to develop a television anthology based on a series of short stories by prolific mystery writer Cornell Woolrich.
Some of the titles to be included in the potential anthology series are A Death Is Caused, After-Dinner Story, Death Sits In The Dentist’s Chair, For The Rest Of Her Life, The Moon Of Montezuma, Mystery In Room 913, The Murder Room, The Dancing Detective and The Death Rose.
Phoenix Pictures’ Chairman/CEO Mike Medavoy and Benjamin Anderson will executive produce the potential series, with Alan Nevins also attached to executive produce.
As a fan of the author, Medavoy had been tracking the Woolrich material for years. The Woolrich library has been a complicated rights issue with more than five owners controlling the nearly 300 properties in the Estate. Renaissance has spent years untangling the web of rights issues and, additionally, now represents all five proprietors.

I found Major Crimes Season 1 captivating. I look forward it more on a weekly basis than I did it's predecessor. Congratulations on your success and Season 2.
Mary McDonnell: I'm very very happy that you have successfully transitioned into the new show. The plan was always to create a transition with integrity.

Previously on Pretty Little Liars, the University of Pennsylvania held an admissions party at Noel Kahn's cabin in the woods where prospective students partook in games such as: Truth or Truth, and Pin the Murder on the Blind Girl.
