In one of their first major moves after Entertainment One’s $4 billion acquisition by toy maker Hasbro was completed in early 2020, Entertainment One’s President and CEO Darren Throop and President of Film and Television Steve Bertram set out to find a Head of Television. They brought in former HBO President of Programming Michael Lombardo, initially as a consultant. Since he was named President of Global Television in June 2020, Lombardo has led a ramp-up of TV projects based on Hasbro properties as well as original ideas. Of the Hasbro IP, a big priority for the company is to develop scripted and unscripted series based on the classic Dungeons & Dragon game, Lombardo said in an extensive interview with Deadline about his programming strategy.

"You scare me," my husband said a few months ago, after peeking over my shoulder at Karin Slaughter's
Blindsighted
. He was (understandably) freaked out about how calm I was reading a thriller, describing the details of the woman who was sexually assaulted and mutilated. But here's the thing: I was more concerned with how well I could relate to the victim's sister, who sought justice on her own terms in this page-turner.
You see, it's not the violence against women that gives me nightmares - it's the fact that she was attacked while in the restroom of a public place by someone well-loved in the small-town community. It's that type of realistic plot that women authors know will shake women to the core. It's just one of the many reasons why women suspense writers are just better.
Long before quarantine started, I have binge-read books like other people watch TV.
