Mónica Marie Zorrilla Following the historic box office success of Nia DaCosta’s horror flick “Candyman,” Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions banner (behind “Candyman” along with MGM), have inked a new creative TV partnership with Universal Studio Group.

The team did the same kind of creepy remix of Luniz’s “I Got 5 On It” in the trailer for the company’s breakout hit “Get Out.”The team’s new “Candyman” is a decidedly contemporary tale.
