Hulu Dark Comedy Series Culprits Coming in December; Max November Programming
A Hulu original series starring Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Gemma Arterton, Niamh Algar, Kirby, Eddie Izzard and many more is coming! Complete first season drops Friday, December 8 on Hulu and the official trailer is out. A thrilling and darkly funny crime series from acclaimed executive producer Stephen Garrett (The Undoing, The Night Manager) and creator J Blakeson (I Care A Lot, The Disappearance of Alice Creed). 8 episodes have been ordered.
Culprits kicks off where most crime stories end:aftera high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind. Past and present collide when a ruthless assassin starts targeting them one by one. Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem, and will they be able to find one another in time to protect themselves and the people they love? The series stars Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Generation, Candyman), Gemma Arterton (The King's Man, Summerland), Niamh Algar (Deceit, Raised by Wolves), Kirby (Cruella The Good Place), Kamel El Basha (The Insult), Tara Abboud, Kevin Vidal (Strays, Working Moms), Ned Dennehy (The Peripheral, Good Omens), and Eddie Izzard (Victoria and Abdul, Six Minutes to Midnight).
Max announces programming coming to the platform this November, including the debut of the Max Original comedy series Bookie (11/30). From Emmy(R)-nominated creator Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory) and Nick Bakay, this darkly funny comedy follows veteran Los Angeles bookie Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco) as the potential legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to upend his business for good. Alongside best friend and former NFL player Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), side-hustling sister Lorraine (Vanessa Ferlito), and reluctantly reformed drug dealer Hector (Jorge Garcia), Danny must contend with his increasingly unstable clients as he tries to settle their debts - all while making plenty of risky bets of his own. Full of relatable mishaps, Bookie chronicles one man's journey to adapt to an ever-changing world as he attempts to charm and con his way to the top.
Season two of Rap Sh!t (11/9) follows two estranged high school friends from Miami, Shawna (Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion), who reunite to form a rap group. In their rise to fame, Shawna and Mia find themselves at a pivotal moment in their rap career as they are forced to decide if they will stay true to themselves or conform to the demands of the music industry.
