Hulu has just released the first set of images from its upcoming series Shrill. The comedy series is based on Lindy West’s bestselling 2016 memoir, Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman. You can check out the images in the gallery below!
The small-screen adaptation of Shrill is written by West, Ali Rushfield (Friends from College), and star Aidy Bryant (Saturday Night Live, The Big Sick). Bryant plays Annie, a fat young woman who wants to change her life, but not her body. Annie is trying to start her career while juggling bad boyfriends, a sick parent, and a perfectionist boss.
Julia Sweeney (Pulp Fiction) will play Bryant’s mother in the show, which also stars Lolly Adefope (Mission: Impossible — Fallout), Luka Jones (Her), Ian Owens (Oasis) and John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch).
Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video will produce Shrill along with Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman’s Brownstone Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Jesse Peretz will direct and produce the first episode, while Carrie Brownstein will direct the second. Rushfield will serve as the series showrunner.
All six episodes of Shrill will be available to stream on Hulu Friday, March 15.
