Hulu has dropped the trailer for Mid-Century Modern, the much anticipated new comedy from Max Mutchnick and David Kohan that also marks Linda Lavin‘s final role before her death in December.
The multi-cam series that also hails from Ryan Murphy is set bow March 28 on the streamer. It follows three gay gentlemen of a certain age who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs, where the wealthiest one lives with his mother. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.
The show stars Lane as Bunny Schneiderman, Bomer as Jerry Frank, Graham as Arthur Broussard and Lavin as Sybil Schneiderman, Bunny’s mother. Guest stars include Pamela Adlon, Vanessa Bayer, Kimberly Coles, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Judd Hirsch, Richard Kind, Stephanie Koenig, Billie Lourd, Esther Moon Wu, Jaime Moyer, Cheri Oteri, Rhea Perlman, Zane Phillips and more.
Graham recently explained that the series is “not Golden Girls,” but he’s certainly not bothered by comparisons to the beloved 1985-’92 NBC sitcom that starred Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty.
“You have three single guys coming together that happen to be homosexual, moving to one person’s place, so the similarities are going to be drawn,” Graham told Queerty‘s Michael Musto. “And it’s not a bad thing to be compared to. The show is its own thing, but it’s nice to be compared to something you truly love.”
Lane and Bomer also executive produce the series, along with James Burrows, who also serves as director. 20th Television is the studio.
