Peter Rabbit

After his uncle's death, Thomas McGregor (Gleeson) moves into his old house and begins refurbishing it in the hopes of selling it for a nice profit.

Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Sadly for fans (but perhaps happily for those who've had their wits scared out of them by previous editions), the answer is currently no.

When you say "they" here, you're really referring to director-writer-producer Oren Peli, who created the hugely popular horror-film series back in 2007 and had a hand in all six installments.

Atlanta, on FX

It looks as if it's time for the guys to make their move in this new episode of the critically acclaimed comedy. Donald Glover stars as Earn Marks, a bright man struggling to get his cousin's music career off the ground.
