Hulu Gets Kat Dennings Comedy; truTV Brings Back I'm Sorry for 2nd Season

Kat Dennings

Hulu announced a 10-episode series order for Dollface, a new comedy from ABC Signature Studios. The new Hulu Original Series will star actress Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls), who is also set to executive produce the comedy alongside Creator and Writer Jordan Weiss (Harley Quinn) and Showrunner Ira Ungerleider. Additional executive producers include Margot Robbie, Brett Hedblom and Tom Ackerley for LuckyChap Entertainment; Bryan Unkeless and Scott Morgan for Clubhouse Pictures; Nicole King and Stephanie Laing (Vice Principals). Matt Spicer (Ingrid Goes West) will executive produce and direct the first episode.

Dollface is set to begin production in 2019. The comedy follows a young woman who - after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend - must deal with her own imagination in order to literally and metaphorically re-enter the world of women, and rekindle the female friendships she left behind. The series marks Hulu's third project with ABC Signature Studios following the recent pick-up of the highly-anticipated Little Fires Everywhere, as well as the first joint TV production project for LuckyChap Entertainment and Clubhouse Pictures, who together recently produced the award-winning film I, Tonya and who are in active pre-production on the untitled Birds of Prey film at Warner Bros.


-"I'm

truTV has announced the season two premiere date for its highly anticipated - and completely unapologetic - comedy series I'm Sorry from creator and writer Andrea Savage (Veep, Episodes, Sleeping with Other People). Hailed by critics as "brazenly funny" and "razor-sharp," the scripted series follows seemingly confident and together comedy writer, wife and mom Andrea (played by Savage), who comically exposes her inner immaturity and neuroses as life throws situations no one could have prepared her for. This season, Andrea lands herself in new cringeworthy scenarios as she questions her theoretical market value as a prostitute, learns the downsides to having a child that can read, and discovers that comedy bits can sometimes go too far. Through it all, she is joined by her husband Mike (Tom Everett Scott), their inquisitive daughter Amelia (Olive Petrucci), and her divorced parents (Kathy Baker and Martin Mull).

Joining the cast in guest-starring roles for the series' second season are Adam Scott (Big Little Lies), Lennon Parham (Playing House), June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie), Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang! Bang!), Rob Huebel(Transparent), Anne Ramsay (Mad About You), Kurt Braunohler (Bob's Burgers), Rose Mclver (iZombie), Brian Stepanek(Green Book) and Rich Eisen (The Rich Eisen Show). Returning guest stars include Jason Mantzoukas (Brooklyn 9-9), Gary Anthony Williams (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Allison Tolman (Fargo), Eugene Cordero (Tacoma FD), Jamie Kaler (My Boys), Paul Scheer (Veep), Kulap Vilaysack (Bajillion Dollar Propertie$) and Steve Zissis (Togetherness).
