Hulu has officially granted a series order to the upcoming multi-cam comedy Mid-Century Modern, which will be led by Golden Globe winner Matt Bomer and Emmy winner Nathan Lane. In addition to Bomer and Lane, the series will star Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin.
Listed below are the main cast members’ respective character descriptions:
- Bomber’s Jerry Frank — Jerry left the Mormon Church and his marriage in his early 20s after his wife informed him and the rest of the congregation that he was a homosexual. Now a latter-day saint in the literal sense of the term, Jerry is pure of heart. He is also hard of body and soft of head.
- Lane’s Bunny Schneiderman — A successful businessman with one foot in retirement, Bunny is forever in search of love, but he first has to be convinced he’s worthy of it.
- Lavin’s Sybil Schneiderman — Like her son, Sybil’s strengths are her weaknesses: wise, caring, and iconoclastic – which sometimes means she’s critical, smothering and amoral.
- Graham’s Arthur — is a dignified, elegant, fashion industry veteran who believes that life will never quite match the grace and panache that would exist if only he were in charge.
What is Mid-Century Modern about?
“The series follows three best friends — gay gentlemen of a certain age – who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother,” reads the official logline. “As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.”
Mid-Century Modern is created by Will & Grace’s Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, with Ryan Murphy serving as an executive producer. When the project was first announced, it was originally described as an “even gayer roommate sitcom” version of the classic comedy series The Golden Girls. It is executive produced by Mutchnick, Kohan, Bomer, Lane, and James Burrows, with the latter also directing its pilot episode. It is a production by 20th Television.
