Shrill, the memoir by Seattle writer (and former Stranger film editor) Lindy West is coming to Hulu, and will star Saturday Night Live’s Aidy Bryant.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
The Hulu take is described as the story of a fat young woman who wants to change her life, but not her body. West, Ali Rushfield and Saturday Night Live repertory player Bryant penned the teleplay and crafted the story. The comedy hails from Michaels’ Broadway Video banner and it is being produced outside of his longtime home at Universal Television. The company’s Andrew Singer will exec produce. Elizabeth Banks’ and Max Handelman’s Brownstone Productions banner is also on board to exec produce the comedy via their pod deal at Warner Bros. Television. Banks originally optioned Shrill for television in December 2016.
A hearty congrats to Lindy from everyone at The Stranger.
