Having evolved into a horror franchise that weaves social commentary into its mayhem, "The Purge" makes the perhaps-inevitable leap to TV, following different parties as the seek to survive the annual night where all crime becomes legal for 12 continuous hours.

The WWE body slammed naysayers on Thursday.
"Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G." wants to bring a "True Detective"-like approach to these sensational cases, and winds up feeling more like the latest miniseries version of "Law & Order."

WWE isn't just scripted wrestling matches. It's a media powerhouse.
