Hulu Orders 'Lex' Comedy Pilot From Sean Clements and Paul Simms

Casting remains unannounced as the project enters Hulu’s staggered pilot development cycle.

Overview

  • The pilot centers on a disgraced former reality star who accidentally records a murder in a $20 Cameo video and is thrust into a global conspiracy.
  • Sean Clements will write and executive produce, extending his work as a co-executive producer and writer on Season 3 of Severance.
  • Clements also penned Apple Original Films’ upcoming feature The Dink, produced by Red Hour Films and starring Jake Johnson and Mary Steenburgen.
  • Paul Simms boards as a non-writing executive producer, following recent EP roles on What We Do in the Shadows, Atlanta and English Teacher.
  • 20th Television is the studio, no cast is attached yet, and a series order will hinge on the completed pilot under Hulu’s year-round pilot strategy.
