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, which stars Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer.

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. 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).
