Hulu Sets Amy Schumer Comedy, Padma Lakshmi Food Series

Hulu has teamed up with the Emmy Award-winning comedian Amy Schumer in a first-look deal that kicks off with the new comedy series Love, Beth, while the streamer also revealed a fourth season of The Handmaid’s Tale and a new food show with Padma Lakshmi.

Love, Beth is created, directed, written, executive produced by and stars Schumer. The 10×30-minute comedy series, from Endeavor Content, is slated to launch in late 2020.

Hulu’s 11-time Emmy-winning drama series The Handmaid’s Tale is getting a fourth season. The series is executive produced by Bruce Miller, Warren Littlefield, Elisabeth Moss, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, Ilene Chaiken, Eric Tuchman, John Weber, Sheila Hockin and Frank Siracusa. It is produced by MGM Television.

Top Chef judge and author Padma Lakshmi has an as-yet-untitled project in the works, billed as a “living cookbook.” Filmed around the U.S., each episode starts with a single dish that represents and connects to a community’s history and traditions and explores the evolution of that immigrant community through that cuisine. The ten-episode series is produced by Part2 Pictures.

Two-time Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Mahershala Ali has been cast as a special guest star in the Hulu Original comedy series Ramy. Ali will join creator Ramy Youssef in the second season, which is slated to premiere in 2020.
