Omar Epps has joined the cast for an upcoming untitled football drama that will be making its way to Hulu. ABC Audio has confirmed he’ll be taking on the recurring role of an offensive coordinator who was formerly an NFL player.
Epps will join a cast starring Christopher Meloni and This Is Us alum Mandy Moore, who will portray Lauren, daughter of William H. Macy‘s Hank.
The logline for the Dan Fogelman series has yet to be disclosed, but it’s “set inside the world of the NFL with a generational family component,” according to a press release.
The untitled series will be Fogelman’s second series on Hulu. His show Paradise, starring This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, premiered in January.

The official trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story has arrived.
Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming season in Ryan Murphy‘s anthology series on Monday.
This time around, the focus is on Ed Gein, the serial killer and grave robber who hunted rural Wisconsin in the 1950s. Charlie Hunnam takes on the role of the titular killer in the series, which sets out to explore whether monsters are born or created, and also why audiences are drawn to stories about them.
“Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein’s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades,” the show’s official synopsis reads. “From Psycho to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant.”
After watching a montage of Hunnam’s Gein doing some horrific things, the trailer breaks the fourth wall. “You’re the one who can’t look away,” the actor says directly into the camera.
The trailer also reveals that Addison Rae will appear in the series as Evelyn, a babysitter who becomes one of Gein’s victims.
Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf, Suzanna Son, Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville and CharlieHall also make up the show’s cast.
Monster: The Ed Gein Story will be available to stream Oct. 3 on Netflix.

Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson star in the new trailer for Die My Love.
MUBI released the official trailer for the upcoming film on Monday. The film, which was directed by LynneRamsay, is based on the novel by Ariana Harwicz.
Lawrence stars as Grace, who has recently moved into an old house deep in the country with her partner, Jackson, played by Pattinson.
“With ambitions to write The Great American Novel, Grace settles into her new environment, and the couple welcome a baby soon after. However, with Jackson frequently – and suspiciously – absent, and the pressures of domestic life starting to weigh on her, Grace begins to unravel, leaving a path of destruction in her wake,” according to the film’s official synopsis.
The trailer finds Lawrence’s Grace asked about her writing career.
“I don’t do that anymore,” she says. “I’m stuck between wanting to do something and not wanting to do anything at all.”
We also see scenes of Grace and Jackson yelling at each other, with Grace seemingly driven to madness as she slams her head against a mirror and scratches at the house’s wallpaper.
LaKeith Stanfield, Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek also star in the movie. Lawrence and Martin Scorsese serve as producers on the project.

Stranger Things is coming to a close.
The cast of the series prepares to say goodbye to the show and teases what fans can expect from the fifth and final season in a new behind-the-scenes video shared by Netflix.
After being separated among different groups for the past couple seasons, this new video shows the original gang of Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (CalebMcLaughlin) and Will (Noah Schnapp) all working together to defeat the villainous Vecna (Jamie CampbellBower) and save their hometown of Hawkins, Indiana.
“As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before,” according to the season’s official synopsis. “To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.”
As for what fans can expect from the final season, creators Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer say it is the biggest season they’ve ever made in terms of action, visual effects and story.
“It’s more of an adventure and more of a mission, which I really like,” Brown said. “Everybody is really put into the thick of it. No one is sitting back on a walkie-talkie. Everyone is full throttle, going for it.”
Wolfhard says that season 5 is “the highest stakes the show has ever been,” while McLaughlin says it shows that, “We’ve come full circle.”
“The fans will be truly satisfied with the ending,” McLaughlin said.
Stranger Things season 5 debuts volume 1 on Nov. 26. Volume 2 of the final season arrives on Christmas, while the series finale premieres on New Year’s Eve. Each batch of episodes arrives to Netflix on those days at 5 p.m. PT.
