‘Mid-Century Modern’ Team Talks Linda Lavin’s “Devastating” Death, ‘Golden Girls’ Comparisons & ‘Will & Grace’ Crossover Potential


Hulu's new sitcom 'Mid-Century Modern' explores the bittersweet beauty of life, love and loss.

Ex-Mormon/current flight attendant Jerry Frank (Bomer) and former Vogue fashion editor Arthur Broussard (Lee Graham) take up bra mogul Bunny on his offer to live with him and his hilariously honest mother Sybil in their luxurious Palm Springs home. More than 25 years after he and Kohan debuted their trailblazing gay sitcom Will & Grace on NBC in 1998, Mutchnick notes that Mid-Century Modern also takes on some unintended relevance “because of what’s going on in the world,” explaining they’re “lucky in that we’re meeting this moment.” Although Mid-Century Modern ‘s elements of LGBTQ representation and chosen family make it ripe for a potential Will & Grace, Mutchnick broke the news that “I don’t think we’re gonna do that.” But that doesn’t mean fans won’t see some familiar faces in future seasons.
