Hulu Picks Up Nathan Lane-Matt Bomer Comedy Series ‘Mid-Century Modern’ From ‘Will & Grace’ Creators & Ryan Murphy

In a very quick turnaround, Hulu has given a series order to Mid-Century Modern , its multi-camera comedy pilot from Will & Grace creators David Kohan & Max Mutchnick and Ryan Murphy that stars Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin.

The pickup comes less than two months after the pilot, written by Kohan and Mutchnick, was officially greenlighted and just four weeks after it was taped in front of a live audience with multi-cam icon James Burrows directing.

The very quick decision-making — especially by Disney standards — is not that surprising. In addition to an A-list creative team in front and behind the camera, the pilot has been enjoying a very strong word- of-mouth internally that kicked into high gear after the table read.

The series follows three best friends (Lane, Bomer, Graham) — 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, Bunny Schneiderman (Lane), lives with his mother, Sybil (Lavin). 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.

Bomer’s former Mormon Jerry Frank is “pure of heart. He is also hard of body and soft of head.” Graham’s Arthur is a dignified, elegant, fashion industry veteran.

Lane and Bomer executive produce the series alongside Mutchnick, Kohan, Burrows and Murphy. 20th Television where Ryan Murphy Productions is based, is the studio.

This is a relatively rare multi-camera streaming comedy series. Hulu previously tried the genre with How I Met Your Father . It also marks the second half-hour series after The New Normal for prolific, Emmy-winning producer Murphy and a return to the genre for Emmy-winning Will & Grace creators, executive producers and showrunners Kohan & Mutchnick who most recently revisited their hit comedy with a revival for NBC. Frequent collaborator Burrows was executive producer/director on both incarnations.
