Netflix Orders Mulligan from 30 Rock Minds; Julie Bowen Heading to Peacock
Netflix announces the cast of adult animation comedy series Mulligan from the minds behind 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Nat Faxon, Chrissy Teigen, Tina Fey, Sam Richardson, Dana Carvey and Phil LaMarr star in the animated comedy from co-creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means. Recurring Guest Stars include Daniel Radcliffe, Ayo Edebiri, Ronny Chieng and Kevin Michael Richardson. Mulligan Premieres Friday, May 12 Globally on Netflix. After Earth is destroyed by an alien attack, a rag-tag band of survivors has to start society over from scratch. It's an opportunity to learn from humanity's past mistakes and get things right this time. Or make the same mistakes all over again. Probably the second one.
From the minds behind 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Mulligan is co-created by executive producers Robert Carlock and Sam Means, who serve as co-showrunners. Executive producers also include Tina Fey, David Miner, Eric Gurian, Scott Greenberg and Joel Kuwahara. Mulligan is produced by Universal Television (a division of NBCUniversal Content Studios) in association with Little Stranger, Inc., Bevel Gears, 3 Arts Entertainment and Bento Box Entertainment.
Two-time Emmy Award winning actress Julie Bowen (Modern Family, Happy Gilmore) will star in Peacock's coming-of-age thriller Hysteria!, a drama series that explores American's dark history of mass hysteria through the shocking story of the teenage Satanic Panic, in the role of Linda Campbell. The series will be produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. Matthew Scott Kane serves as writer and executive producer. John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein, Chris Bender and Jake Weiner will also executive produce. Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer, Kong: Skull Island) is set to direct the first episode. When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the "Satanic Panic" of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town's sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported "supernatural activity" triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.
