A new Hulu original comedy, Mid-Century Modern, from the creators of Will & Grace and executive producer Ryan Murphy, is dropping all ten episodes on March 28, 2025. The multi-camera sitcom focuses on three gay best friends living together in Palm Springs.
Here’s the Lowdown: After a friend’s death, three older gay men decide to live together in Palm Springs. The series stars Nathan Lane as Bunny Schneiderman, Matt Bomer as Jerry Frank, and Nathan Lee Graham as Arthur Broussard. Linda Lavin plays Bunny’s mother, Sybil.
What This Means Now: Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are back, teaming up with Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Glee). This signals a high-profile comedy series with a strong pedigree. The show launches in its entirety on March 28, 2025.
The Bigger Picture: The series’ focus on older LGBTQ+ characters is a relatively unexplored area in mainstream comedy. With a cast featuring stage and screen veterans like Nathan Lane and Linda Lavin, alongside Matt Bomer and a long list of great guest stars including Pamela Adlon, Vanessa Bayer, Cheri Oteri and Rhea Perlman, Mid-Century Modern is sure to attract both critical attention and an older demographic. Legendary sitcom director James Burrows (Cheers, Frasier) is also involved, further raising the show’s profile.
