Directed by Rob Alicea, who is making his feature debut, from a script written by Jonathan Benecke and P.T. Hylton, Serena has the following synopsis: Desperate to launch her company into the future with resounding success, a CEO commissions tech engineer Holly to build her an AI model. However, before being implemented it must be tested. Down-on-his-luck and funds, former rock star, Chris Sadowsky, is asked to be one of the testers — with devastating repercussions.

Ever since Covid-19 hit the world with the pandemic, people have been more dependent on Ott platforms. Now, several streaming platforms make it easier for you to enjoy your favorite shows while being in a cozy and homely environment. Since A Handmaid’s Tale created a buzz after its release, many people have started subscribing to Hulu. But, between Netflix, Disney, Prime Video, and Apple TV, it seems that viewers miss out a lot on Hulu.

It now has an amazing slate of shows, including weekly broadcasts, original series, and more. However, there have been a few well-made web series that despite having a great storyline and stunning star cast, went unnoticed. So, in this article, we have curated a list of 10 underrated shows (from horror to comedy to drama) on Hulu that you might not have watched yet.

1. Mrs. America

While shows...

TV shows are supposed to develop as their seasons progress, as the original format of a series might not always fit. In some cases, when a TV show's premise stops working quickly, this opens the door for the writers to experiment with more fantastical and outlandish narratives, leaving behind the story that was once so rooted in reality. While this can sometimes be the perfect thing and keep a show on the air for longer, it can also come out of nowhere and give the TV series a reputation for jumping the shark, making audiences take it less seriously.

Many long-running TV shows never changed their original premise, but this is the exception, not the rule. It's more likely that a series will grow and evolve throughout its run, finding new formulas and settings that the characters flourish in and that audiences respond to. There's nothing wrong with magical elements and heightened reality,...

After the first chapter ended with a shocking twist theres intense demand for The Other Black GIrl season 2, but Hulu has opted to cancel the series after only one season. Adapted from the Zakiya Dalila Harris novel of the same name, Hulus The Other Black Girl focuses on editorial assistant Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniels), the only Black employee at publishers Wagner Books. When Hazel-May McCall (Ashleigh Murray) is hired, Nella is no longer alone at Wagner but Nellas initial kinship with Hazel-May quickly takes a dramatic turn.

Nella suspects Hazel-May might be sabotaging her to advance her career. However, it becomes clear The Other Black Girl isnt just about workplace tension and marginalization. There are shady dealings afoot at Wagner, and the publisher has a disturbing history. The shocking finale to season 1 revealed that Hazel-May's behavior is because of her part in a secret society focused on forcing Black women to assimilate into white culture.

When Hulu and Oynx Collective’s “The Other Black Girl” hit the airwaves, audiences weren’t ready for the cornucopia of hairstyling about to infiltrate their screens. How women of color have their hair styled is a direct reflection of their identity. And that was just as important to the leading ladies on the show.

The show stars Sinclair Daniel as Nella, an editorial assistant, who after being the only Black girl at her company, grows excited when she learns a new Black girl named Hazel (Ashleigh Murray) has been hired. But as Hazel’s star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the Wagner Books.

Based in Atlanta, “The Other Black Girl’s” hair department head, Pamela Hall wanted to create a safe, sacred environment akin to a Black beauty shop with any project she is associated with.

There will be no second season for The Other Black Girl. Hulu has canceled the drama series, based on the Zakiya Dalila Harris’ novel of the same name, after one season, Deadline has confirmed.

The Hulu original series from Onyx Collective followed Nella (Sinclair Daniel), an editorial assistant, who is tired of being the only Black girl at her company, Wagner Books. Everything is looking up when Hazel (Ashleigh Murray) is hired but as her star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the company. And also, is Hazel friend or foe?

The Other Black Girl also starred Brittany Adebumola as Malaika; Hunter Parrish as Nella’s boyfriend, Owen; Bellamy Young as Wagner Books editor, Vera Parini; Eric McCormack as Wagner Books founder, Richard Wagner; Garcelle Beauvais as renowned author, Diana Gordon.

The Other Black Girl will not return.

Hulu has canceled the comedy series based on the book of the same name by Zakiya Dalila Harris after a single season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

First put in development in April 2020 before Tara Duncan signed on to serve as president of Disney’s Bipoc-focused studio Onyx Collective, the 10-episode satirical comedy about the publishing world dropped its full season in September to impressive reviews. The series currently has an 86 percent rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes, though audiences seem to have rejected The Other Black Girl with that score sitting at a lackluster 50 percent among viewers.

Danielle Henderson (Sorry for Your Loss) originally was set to serve as showrunner but was ultimately replaced by Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey. Exec producers on the series included Onyx’s Duncan, Rashida Jones, Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, Adam Fishbach and author Harris.

"The Other Black Girl," Hulu's new series based on the best-selling novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris, is an important addition to the streamer's arsenal as a show that centers on the hostile environments that Black women can face in the workplace. It's a near-universal experience for many Black women and is finally being represented on screen.

But when the show takes a turn and reveals the main villain to be another Black woman perpetuating violence against her own community, the show falls short, creating a world where Black women are pitted against each other. As a Black woman who has often been the "only" in workplace settings, the experiences that Nella (played by Sinclair Daniel) goes through at Wagner Publishing resonated. But, unlike Nella, I always had Black colleagues to lift me up, not keep me down.

I have always found that the Black women I worked with had my back.

The Other Black Girl season 2 is highly anticipated due to its shocking twist and the intriguing storyline surrounding workplace tension and a secret society. The producers hope to explore Nella's fake persona and her willingness to go far to achieve her goals in season 2. While season 2 hasn't been officially renewed yet, based on the positive reception of season 1, there seems to be little reason for Hulu not to greenlight it. A potential release date could be in late 2024 or 2025 due to ongoing strikes.

After the first chapter ended on a shocking twist there’s intense demand for The Other Black GIrl season 2, and while the release date is a little ways off there’s already plenty to discuss surrounding Nella and Hazel-May’s return on Hulu. Adapted from the Zakiya Dalila Harris novel of the same name, Hulu’s The Other Black Girl focuses on editorial assistant Nella Rogers...

Spoilers for The Other Black Girl season 1 and the novel ahead.

The Hulu series adaptation of "The Other Black Girl" successfully balances satire and thriller elements, providing a more satisfying reveal and finale compared to the novel. The TV series explores Nella's backstory and the nuanced moments of her character, although it cuts down on backstory details to focus on the plot and give more screen time to the character of Hazel. The show reflects a post-pandemic world and the heightened awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion, highlighting the shallow sensibilities of Nella's white co-workers in a more recent context.

Based on Zakiya Dalila Harris' best-selling novel of the same name, The Other Black Girl more than successfully translates the comedy-thriller premise to the screen. Like its source material, the Hulu series centers on Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniel), an editorial assistant at the distinguished Wagner Books. The only Black woman working for the publisher,...

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Hulu's The Other Black Girl and the novel it's based on!

The Other Black Girl's season 1 ending departs from the book, setting up the possibility of a season 2 with a different storyline. Nella's character in the series only pretends to use the hair grease, opening up opportunities for her to be a double agent in season 2. The show's deviation from the source material allows for a more positive and inspirational story in season 2, showcasing one woman's refusal to conform.

The Other Black Girl co-showrunner Jordan Reddout breaks down how the season 1 ending departs from the book's, but raises the possibility of a season 2. The Other Black Girl premiered on Hulu on September 13 and is based on the novel of the same name by Zakiya Dalila Harris. It follows Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniel), an editorial assistant at Wagner Books who is initially excited when another Black woman,...

Zakiya Dalila Harris rarely saw another natural-haired Black woman in the office. But one time it did. She was an assistant editor at Knopf Doubleday, a publishing group within Penguin Random House, and a woman stepped into the bathroom. Instead of a serendipitous smile, though, Harris received the cold shoulder from her colleague.

“I definitely thought we’d have some kind of, ‘Hey,’ the nod, and that didn’t happen,” Harris recalls. “I ended up going back to my desk and started writing this book.”

Since publishing The Other Black Girl...

The Other Black Girl is a mystery drama series created by Zakiya Dalila Harris and Rashida Jones. The Hulu series is based on a 2021 novel of the same name by Zakiya Dalila Harris a workplace drama and it follows an African-American editorial assistant working in a NYC publishing firm which is largely populated by white people. When another black co-worker arrives she gets excited but is her new colleague a friend or a foe?

The Other Black Girl showrunners express interest in a potential season 2, hoping for a fair deal in the ongoing strikes. Season 2 could explore Nella's "fake" persona and how far she's willing to go, questioning if her ambitious facade becomes her true self. The season 1 finale left many open plotlines, including Nella's plan and the abduction of Jesse, leaving viewers excited for the potential return of the series.

The Other Black Girl season 2 gets a promising update from showrunners Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey. The Hulu show, based on Zakiya Dalila Harris’ novel of the same name, premiered September 13 on Hulu. It follows Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniel), an editorial assistant and the only Black woman working for Wagner Books, who begins to learn more about the company and its terrifying secrets after the hiring of Hazel-May McCall (Ashleigh Murray). Along with Daniel and Murray, the cast of The Other Black Girl includes Garcelle Beauvais,...

We’re halfway through September, which means the most entertaining show on TV is back: Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show.”

The Emmy-winning drama starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon returned this week for its 10-episode third season, which picks up two years after the events of the Season 2 finale. Naturally, this means big changes are happening, not just at the fictional network within the show, which is struggling after launching a streaming service right as the pandemic hit the U.S. (the series loves its “ripped-from-the-headlines” approach to storytelling), but for the actual show as well. Emmy winner Jon Hamm joins the cast as tech billionaire Paul Marks, who takes an interest in Uba (and perhaps a little bit more), while Nicole Beharie portrays new “Morning Show” anchor Chris Hunter. The first two episodes are currently streaming on Apple TV+, and with so much drama already beginning to unfold,...

At the end of the first season of “The Other Black Girl, viewers discover that something’s in the air, or more specifically, something’s in the hair.

Based on the novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris and executive produced by Rashida Jones and Harris, the Hulu and Onyx Collective series follows Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniel), an editorial assistant at Wagner Books who becomes suspicious of her new coworker Hazel-May McCall (Ashleigh Murray).

Warning: Proceed if you want to read spoilers from “The Other Black Girl.” This interview was arranged with Hickey and Reddout’s personal PR in accordance with the WGA strike rules.

By the hair party in the seventh episode, titled “Caught in the Rapture,” viewers learn Hazel uses hypnotic hair grease that makes Black women who use it malleable in a world that does not accommodate their Blackness.

Based on the suspenseful novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris, Hulu and Onyx Collective’s “The Other Black Girl” tackles the issue of systemic racism in the workplace through a thrilling lens. Produced by Rashida Jones, the show follows Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniel) as she battles microaggressions and the isolation of being the only Black girl at Wagner Books. That is until the publishing house hires Hazel May McCall (Ashleigh Murray). At first, Nella is overjoyed, but she starts to realize that though they share skin color and culture, the two girls could not be more different.

Author Harris executive produced the show, written by Gus Hickey and Jordan Reddout. Some special guest stars appear here and there throughout the sinister series. Read on to learn who plays whom in Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl”:

“How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to succeed?” That’s the question showrunners Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey were seeking to answer when they adapted Zakiya Dalila Harris’ novel “The Other Black Girl” for TV with executive producer Rashida Jones.

And somewhere in the midst of exploring microaggressions and race relations in the workplace, Nella (Sinclair Daniel) finds her answer as she winds up caught in Harris’ fictional sorority of Black women success stories.

“The Other Black Girl” follows Nella, a promising editor’s assistant at the fictional Wagner Books, whose life seems to be on a fast-track to success until she meets Hazel (Ashleigh Murray), the new Black assistant whose style and swagger quickly draws the attention of the higher-up executives in the office.

Where most would assume competition ensues,...

Being the only Black person in an aggressively white workspace can be an alienating experience, made less lonely by the welcomed presence of another just like them.

But what happens when you’re unsure if you can trust this would-be ally? That uneasy feeling — and so much more! — is explored in the Hulu thriller The Other Black Girl, which released all 10 episodes of Season 1 on Wednesday.

Can one small thing address systemic racism in the workplace? Probably not, but The Other Black Girl presents a unique idea woven into a tale of anxiety and dread. Adapted from a book of the same title that was released as recently as 2021, The Other Black Girl sets out to be a workplace thriller that follows a young black woman in the publishing industry. In reality, it plays out more like a satire than a thriller, and the nail-biting stuff is far more limited in comparison to the relentless workplace humor. I found the first half of the show especially captivating. The pacing is great, and there’s an element of mystery, but at the same time, there’s also a lot of fun stuff, like getting to know our main character, Nella, who is quite delightful.

Nella is the only black woman at Wagner Books, a big name in the publishing industry,...

Every minority in the good old U.S. of A has heard or internalized that damaging myth: There can only be one. One model minority, one diverse member of the team (or cast) — and in Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl,” one editorial star at Wagner Books, as long as she falls in line. The 10-episode thriller (available all at once) is a faithful and gripping adaptation that will leave viewers exhilarated, entertained, and wanting more — especially from star Sinclair Daniel.

Based on the New York Times bestseller by Zakiya Dalila Harris, “The Other Black Girl” centers on Nella (Daniel), a rising editorial assistant whose world gets rocked in good and bad ways (and some in between) with the arrival of — you guessed it — a second Black girl in her workplace. Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey serve as co-showrunners and executive producers along with Harris, Rashida Jones, Adam Fishbach, Tara Duncan,...

“The Other Black Girl” is a rarity for Black women in scripted television. The latest series from Onyx Collective to premiere on Hulu, this psychological thriller and satire tinged with horror offers a rare and provocative look into the challenges facing Black women within the larger white society, while also exploring their internal tensions through a mainstream premise.

Adapted from the 2021 book of the same name from Zakiya Dalila Harris, the show centers two Black women working in book publishing, widely acknowledged as one of the least diverse industries in the country. Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniel) is a promising young employee at Wagner Books, with eyes on becoming an impactful editor like her idol Kendra Rae Phillips, the publisher’s first and only Black editor to date, did back in the early 1980s. Being the only Black woman at the company can be isolating, so it’s only natural that...

Across much of corporate America, it’s taken almost for granted that things have been “getting better” for racial minorities: that there are more Black voices in positions of influence than there ever have been; that diversity and inclusivity are more prized than ever; that every generation of trailblazers and role models begets the next; that no matter how unjust things remain, they’re still better than they were three or four decades ago. And sure, some of it might even be true.

But there’s a special frustration to being told all this when you can see with your own eyes that it isn’t always the way things are, to being instructed to just wait your turn, to gritting your teeth in the meantime. Hulu’s The Other Black Girl, set largely in the lily-white territory of book publishing, taps into that tension with every genre in its...

You won’t know whether to laugh or scream — it’s Ok to do both — during The Other Black Girl, Hulu‘s sensational comic thriller, adapted from Zakiya Dalila Harris’ buzzy bestseller. A tonal rollercoaster, the series unfolds over 10 blissfully brisk half-hour chapters that keep a binge from feeling like a slog, as the series morphs from a Devil Wears Prada-style workplace satire into an audacious, radically charged twist on The Stepford Wives weirdness. Just try not to cringe when a mentor tells Nella (the endearingly eager Sinclair Daniel), an ambitious editorial assistant at New York’s very white Wagner Books publishing house, “You just need a little polish.” She has already endured so many patronizing micro-aggressions as Wagner’s sole Black employee, doing the bidding of her unctuous boss and almost never feeling seen or heard, that you share Nella’s delight when the chipper, hip Hazel (Ashleigh Murray...

Literary legend Toni Morrison once called racism a distraction. “It keeps you from doing your work,” she said during a 1975 speech. “It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being.” Black people must contend with everything from blatant acts of racist terrorism to small microaggressions that filter into our everyday lives. Instead of existing, you find yourself in a state of constant emotional regulation and survival, one that is exhaustingly unfair and unsustainable. For people of color and Black folks navigating predominantly white spaces, this constant state of code-switching and performance can quickly become horrific and soul-sucking.

Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl,” based on Zakiya Dalila Harris’ best-selling novel of the same name, opens with two Black women walking similar paths in different timelines. In 1988, Kendra Rae Phillips (Cassi Maddox) is the sole Black editor at the prestigious Wagner Books in Manhattan. She is distraught when she first appears onscreen,...

When The Other Black Girl hit bookshelves June 1, 2021, it was already a phenomenon. The manuscript went through a 14-way auction, eventually landing at Atria for a seven-figure deal — and an adaptation was already in the works at Hulu after a similarly competitive bidding war. The novel became an instant New York Times best-seller.

Zakiya Dalila Harris wrote the thriller (her first) from her own experience as one of two Black people on her floor of the Penguin Random House offices, where she worked as an assistant editor. The book’s protagonist, Nella, is drawn to new hire Hazel in hopes they can bond over racism at the fictional Wagner Books before realizing that Hazel has sinister intentions.

Harris took a break from writing her next novel to speak with THR about what it’s been like to work on the adaptation — which premieres Sept. 13 on Hulu and counts Rashida Jones as an executive producer.

This September is a relatively slow month for TV and movies but it’s far from a dead month (unless you count a new Walking Dead spinoff). The small screen sees the debut of new seasons of The Morning Show and Wheel of Time while the big screen features more sequels than we can cover here. (Fans of The Nun should know that The Nun 2 makes its debut on September 8.) Beyond the familiar, you’ll find a series starring Lakeith Stanfield, a dramatization of a weird chapter in recent financial history,...

Riverdale season 7 gave our characters a fresh slate in the 1950’s, embracing their “classic Archie Comics counterparts.” However, in the penultimate episode, they all finally got their good memories back from Angel Tabitha (Erinn Westbrook) with only Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) choosing to remember both the good and bad.

The Other Black Girl is poised to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year.

Hulu dropped the official trailer for its adaptation of Zakiya Dalila Harris' best-selling novel on Wednesday, and it's as unsettling as expected.

"Nella, an editorial assistant, is tired of being the only Black girl at her company, so she's excited when Hazel is hired," the logline reads.

"But as Hazel's star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the company."

It's a compelling description, and the trailer nails what the above describes, so that's a good thing.

Hulu released the trailer Wednesday for “The Other Black Girl,” adapted from the best-selling novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris.

The series will follow Nella (Sinclair Daniels) who joyfully leaves her loneliness behind as the only Black employee at a publishing company, Wagner Books, when Hazel (Ashleigh Murray) gets hired as an editorial assistant like Nella.

Suddenly, all of Vera’s (Bellamy Young) demands become less grueling when she can share the experience of being Black at a majority white-staffed company with Hazel — until things get weird.

“Wagner’s just … you’ll see,” Nella tells Hazel at first in the trailer you can watch above.

Right as Vera tells Nella that she is ready to recommend a promotion to assistant editor from editorial assistant for Nella, some sinister things start happening that only Nella feels like she is aware of.

Sinclair Daniel gets rightly paranoid about her workplace as she faces a series of sinister events in the debut trailer for Hulu’s psychological thriller The Other Black Girl, set for a streaming release on Sept. 13.

The original series, from Onyx Collective and based on Zakiya Dalila Harris’ 2021 best-selling novel, revolves around Nella Rogers (Daniel), an editorial assistant in a starkly white New York City publishing house who is tired of being manipulated and marginalized as the only Black girl at her company.

So she gets excited when Hazel-May McCall, played by Ashleigh Murray, is hired and sits in the office cubicle behind her own. But as Hazel becomes the office darling at Wagner Books, Nella spirals and discovers something sinister is going on as she is left in the dust.

“I feel like I’m completely losing my mind,” Nella says at one point in the trailer, as Sinclair...

Showtime has announced the release date of their upcoming limited series “Fellow Travelers,” starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey. The eight-episode drama will premiere on Oct. 27.

Created by Academy Award nominee Ron Nyswaner and based on Thomas Mallon’s novel of the same name, “Fellow Travelers” is both a romance and a political thriller, depicting the secret relationship between two men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. Bomer plays Hawkins Fuller, a man with a lucrative behind-the-scenes job in politics, and Bailey plays an idealistic, religious young man. Their romance begins at the same time that Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn declare war on “subversives and sexual deviants.” The show tracks the protagonists over four decades, through the Vietnam War protests, the drugs and disco of the 1970s, and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

“Fellow Travelers” also stars Jelani Alladin, Allison Williams and Noah J. Ricketts. Daniel Minahan serves...

A familiar face is back in the Riverdale universe on Riverdale Season 7 Episode 17.

Josie McCoy, leader of Josie and The Pussycats, unveiled her 1955 counterpart in true Hollywood fashion. In this case, she's an award-winning Hollywood and Broadway star.

Her arrival to town was filled with big screens and big stage performances. But was the episode a grand return to form?

For instance, Josie's arrival in Riverdale for her movie project. It's another standalone story that breaks up any potential for an overarching plot.

Does it get any more series finale-like than this, Riverdale Fanatics?
