Hulu announced it has given a series order to Mid-Century Modern, a series about gay friends navigating their “golden years.” Per Deadline, the multi-camera comedy pilot from ‘Will & Grace’ creators David Kohan & Max Mutchnick and Ryan Murphy will star Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin. A premiere date has not yet been released.
A show synopsis states that the series “follows three best friends — 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 lives with his mother. 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.”
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Lane stars as Bunny Schneiderman (Nathan Lane), a successful businessman with one foot in retirement who is forever in search of love, but he first has to be convinced he’s worthy of it. The nearly-retired Bunny lives with his mother Sybil (Linda Lavin), the good-hearted ex-Mormon Jerry Frank-Jerry (Matt Bomer), and the fashionable Arthur (Nathan Lee Graham).
