EXCLUSIVE: Peacock is developing Strangers, a thriller drama written and executive produced by Jon Feldman (Monarch).

Strangers is described as Strangers On a Train with two female leads. In it, when a long-neglected housewife befriends a mysterious woman who is her polar opposite, the two women find that they have far more in common than they thought.
