Nathan Lane-Matt Bomer Comedy ‘Mid-Century Modern’ Lands Hulu Series Pickup

As a fan who has grown up with the witty banter and unforgettable characters of Will & Grace, I am absolutely thrilled to hear that Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are back in the sitcom business! The fact that they’re teaming up with Ryan Murphy for Mid-Century Modern makes this news even sweeter.


Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are officially back in the sitcom business.

Hulu has commissioned the series “Mid-Century Modern” from a pair of producers, who will take on the role of executive producers alongside Ryan Murphy. This multi-camera production features Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer in leading roles, with both actors also serving as executive producers. In addition, Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin are part of the main cast.

The production sequence of the “Mid-Century Modern” series, handled by 20th Television, has been initiated just under two months following Hulu’s decision to commission a pilot episode – a remarkably swift timeline in the realm of streaming services.

As a longtime fan of heartwarming and humorous television series that revolve around the dynamics of friendship and family, I was immediately intrigued by the logline for this upcoming show. The premise of three best friends, older gentlemen who are gay, banding together after an unexpected loss to spend their golden years in Palm Springs, where one of them resides with his mother, sounds like a delightful exploration of companionship, resilience, and the bonds that tie us together.

In the role of Bunny Schneiderman, Lane portrays a prosperous entrepreneur on the verge of retirement, yearning for love yet hesitant to believe he deserves it, initially.

In a different context, Bomer portrays Jerry Frank, who departed from the Mormon Church and his matrimonial vows in his youth when his wife disclosed that he was homosexual to both him and their congregation. Currently, Jerry embodies the essence of a latter-day saint, referring to someone with unblemished moral integrity. Physically, he’s robust, while intellectually, he tends to be gentle.

As a seasoned gaming character, I embody Arthur – a revered figure in the fashion world with an air of sophistication and elegance. I firmly believe that my leadership could elevate life to a level of grace and flair it currently lacks, even though reality might never quite meet up to those ideals.

As a passionate admirer, I’d say that Lavin beautifully embodies Sybil Schneiderman, Bunny’s mom, who carries both her virtues and flaws within her. Her wisdom, compassion, and nonconformity are indeed her greatest assets, yet they can sometimes lead to overcriticism, overprotection, and a lack of moral compass.

Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, the creators and executive producers of the Emmy-winning, groundbreaking sitcom “Will & Grace,” which aired for 11 seasons on NBC (renewed from 2017 to 2020), have now embarked on their first series project since then. Their latest endeavor is called “Mid-Century Modern.” Additionally, they were involved in the development of a CBS pilot titled “Wilde Things” during the 2020-21 season.

As a long-time fan of Murphy’s work, I am thrilled to learn about his latest project, Grotesquerie. With his impressive track record and unique storytelling abilities, I have no doubt that this series will be a must-watch. Tuesday’s revelation about the new details only adds to my anticipation. Having grown up watching Murphy’s shows, I can attest to the impact they’ve had on me as a viewer, and I eagerly await the premiere of Grotesquerie.
