Fan CastingHOTEL CALIFORNIA: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2029)

In the hyper-glamorous world of Hollywood, where fame and fortune rule, detective Benoit Blanc is thrust into the chaos of celebrity culture when the murder of a beloved Oscar-winning actress shocks the entertainment industry. The victim, Amara Quinn, a dazzling yet controversial figure, is found dead on the set of a sprawling new streaming series, “The Final Curtain.” The production, already plagued by scandal and infighting, becomes a pressure cooker as Blanc uncovers a cast of suspects whose polished exteriors hide dark truths. From influencers desperate for relevance to aging stars struggling to stay in the limelight, the story delves into the vapidness of celebrity culture, exploring the price of fame, the toxicity of social media, and the blurred line between persona and identity. Blanc must navigate an industry obsessed with image, secrets hidden in PR spin, and a web of lies where everyone is performing for an unseen audience. As the investigation progresses, Blanc finds himself questioning whether the Hollywood machine itself is the true villain—and whether Amara’s death was a murder or the ultimate sacrifice for fame.
