“Be careful what you dream…” Peacock has unveiled their trailer for a mystery thriller film titled Strung, which is getting a direct-to-streaming debut on Peacock this summer. This recently premiered at the 2026 American Black Film Festival and will be out to watch online in one month from now. Directed by comedy filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee switching up his genres, Strung stars Chloe Bailey as a talented violinist who takes a prestigious job as a music tutor for the gifted daughter of an influential and enigmatic family. As she becomes entangled in their opulent world, unsettling secrets begin to surface about past links to the family’s patriarch, forcing her to question her safety, her dreams, and even her sanity. Starring Chloe Bailey, with Lynn Whitfield, Lucien Laviscount, Anna Diop, Coco Jones, and Romy Woods. This is produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse, along with Tyler Perry. This kid in the mask concept is pretty wild because they don’t explain anything about it in this trailer – just waiting for people to watch the movie and find out.
