Aidy Bryant Comedy Coming to Hulu
Hulu has picked up the comedy series “Shrill” and Aidy Bryant will star. The six episode pick up series is based on Lindy West’s memoir “Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman.” But Bryant says she won’t be leaving Saturday Night Live, she’ll just be doubling down.
The series based on the book follows “Annie” a fat young woman looking to change her life, but not her body, who is trying to juggle her aspirations to be a journalist with lots of problems like bad boyfriends, sick parents, and an impossible to please boss– all while dealing with the world’s expectations and body shaming. Think Amy Schumer’s latest movie without needing to get hit on the head.
Lorne Michaels will produce the series along with Elizabeth Banks and others.
Production begins this week in Oregon.
