π° What Happened
Hulu has picked up a new rom-com series called Hard Feelings. It is created by and stars comedian Mary Beth Barone, and comes from the studio A24.
Barone plays Claire Ambrose, a top New York dating consultant. She teaches straight men how to communicate and handle feelings, while dating men who can do neither.
Benito Skinner, a frequent collaborator, will take a supporting role. The show has been put on fast-track development.
π The Backstory
Barone has written for Skinner's Prime Video comedy Overcompensating, which also comes from A24, and appears in it. The pair co-host a podcast called Ride.
Her hour-long special Galaxy Brain came out on Netflix in July and as an album in August. Her first special, Thought Provoking, was self-produced in 2024.
Scott King will run the show and produce it with Barone, Skinner, Mackenzie Roussos and A24. Skinner's own series has just finished filming season two.
π― Why It Matters
It is a big break for a comedian who built her audience through live work, podcasts and streaming specials rather than network TV.
