Hulu Orders Teen Political Drama Pilot ‘Young Americans’ by Chris Hutton and Eddie O

Hulu is gearing up for an exciting new pilot called “Young Americans,” a teen political drama that promises to bring some serious intrigue to the small screen. Written and executive produced by Chris Hutton and Eddie O’Keefe, with Bruce Miller from White Oak Pictures joining as an executive producer, this show is set to captivate audiences.

Set at Capitol Crest Academy in Washington D.C., “Young Americans” follows the children of the nation’s elite as they navigate the intense world of politics, power, and teenage drama. As these young characters grapple with secrets, scandals, and high-stakes ambitions, a forbidden romance between students from rival political families catapults tensions to dangerous levels.

But this isn’t the only pilot in the works at Hulu. The streaming platform is also developing other exciting projects, like the dark comedy “Lex,” as well as “Durango” starring Cooper Hoffman and Kathryn Newton, and “Chicks” featuring Ellen Pompeo. And let’s not forget about Ryan Coogler’s “X-Files” reboot pilot through Hulu’s Onyx Collective, featuring Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel.

Hutton and O’Keefe are no strangers to creating compelling content, having previously worked on the Quibi series “When the Streetlights Go On.” Their track record spans across various platforms, including Apple, HBO, Amazon, and Paramount+. Meanwhile, Miller has made his mark with the critically acclaimed series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which earned multiple Emmy wins and nominations.

With such a talented team behind “Young Americans,” we can’t wait to see how this pilot unfolds and what it might mean for the future of streaming entertainment. Stay tuned for more updates on this riveting new series!
