Hulu has acquired the U.S. rights to all six episodes of the hit BBC comedy-thriller “Am I Being Unreasonable?” The show will debut as a Hulu original on April 11.
“Am I Being Unreasonable?” follows Nic (Cooper), a mother grieving a loss that she can’t share with anyone whilst stuck in a depressing marriage. Only her son, Ollie (Lenny Rush, Apple Tree House), keeps her going. But when Jen (Hizli) arrives in town, her life is lit up with laughter and, through this kindred soul, her secret starts to bubble up. The show also stars Jessica Hynes (There She Goes), Dustin Demri-Burns (Cardinal Burns, The Great), Amanda Wilkin (The Split), David Fynn (Game of Thrones), Juliet Cowan (Back to Life), Ruben Catt (Ted’s Top Ten), and Karla Crome (Under the Dome).
The series was written by the This Country creator and Selin Hizli (Mum), and exec produced by Jack Thorne. The show has also been renewed for a second season.
“Am I Being Unreasonable?” was commissioned by Kate Phillips, former Acting Director of BBC Comedy. The producer is Pippa Brown (The Other One, Psychobitches), director is Jonny Campbell (Phoenix Nights, Eric & Ernie) and EPs are Allen, Campbell, Cooper, Kate Daughton, Hizli and Thorne. Tanya Qureshi, Head of BBC Comedy, is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.
