Earlier this month, members of the Screen Actors Guild voted to authorize a strike if their negotiating committee doesn’t reach an agreement on a new contract with major Hollywood studios by June 30. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher released a video message this week with an update on the negotiations, telling members, “We are having an [sic] extremely productive negotiations that are laser focused on all of the crucial issues you told us are most important to you. We’re standing strong and we are going to achieve a seminal deal.”

Hulu’s newest psychological drama is Saint X, an eight-part series based on a book by the same name by Alexis Schaitkin. Saint X jumps between timelines to explore the ripple effect created by the death of a young woman at an idyllic island resort. The series stars Alycia Debnam-Carey, West Duchovny, and Josh Bonzie, and boasts Jayden Elijah, Michael Park, and Betsy Brandt in powerful supporting roles.

Leila Gerstein wrote and executive produced the series, helping to make Saint X’s transition from page to screen a smooth and successful one. Gerstein has already contributed to some top-tier Hulu shows in the quotable Mrs. America and The Handmaid’s Tale, and has helped make Saint X into the captivating watch it is. Gerstein’s writing credits also include beloved series including Gossip Girl and The O.C.

Hulu’s psychological drama Saint X is a gripping look at grief, tragedy, and shared trauma. The story takes place across multiple timelines, exploring how the death of a young woman at an idyllic island resort ripples out to affect everyone involved in the event. The series was adapted from a 2020 novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin, which earned rave reviews for the depth and payoff of its slow-burn story.

Although the story follows multiple characters across a span of years, the present-day story centers on Emily Thomas, played by Alycia Debnam-Carey (known for her work as a main character on The 100), who lost her older sister on the island of Saint X. Years after the tragic event, Emily is living in Brooklyn where she runs into Clive “Gogo” Richardson (Josh Bonzie). The meeting consumes Emily’s mind, and she begins a consequential quest for the truth...

Alycia Debnam-Carey leaves zombies behind for her follow-up to Fear the Walking Dead.

On Saint X, Debnam-Carey takes on the role of Emily Thomas, an environmental documentary editor trying to unmask the truth about her sister Alison's (West Duchovny) death several years before.

The series is based on the novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin.

Debnam-Carey revealed exclusively to TV Fanatic that she chose not to read the book because she knew there would be distinct changes in the series.

"I didn't want to cross-pollinate what was happening on set versus in the book," the star shares. 

"So I decided to just focus on the scripts and that character arc as it was being written for the show."

The star revealed that she waited to read the book until production was completed, and she hopes fans of the show will discover the book.

“Saint X,” Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed 2020 novel, has roiling depth beneath its placid surface, much like the pristine waters of the Caribbean island where it takes place. The body of a young American girl washes ashore in those tropical tides, and because her death incites the story, “Saint X” initially cuts the figure of a thriller. Yes, the book slowly unfurls the details behind her untimely demise. But the story isn’t really about what happened, it’s about the grief, recrimination and obsession that consumes the survivors over time. It’s a meditation on trauma, shot through with social commentary and disguised as a nondescript “imperiled woman” beach read.

Hulu’s series adaptation of “Saint X” hews closely to its source material, which winds up being as much a curse as a gift. The show also feints at a proper whodunnit, then builds to a nuanced, if anticlimactic conclusion,...

It’s always a tragedy when a family member dies. But when the circumstances surrounding their death become murkier instead of clearer, sometimes there’s only one person who can get to the bottom of things. That’s the premise of “Saint X,” the new thriller series coming to Hulu on Wednesday, April 26. When a missing young woman turns up dead , only her enterprising sister can figure out the truth of what happened to her. You can watch Saint X with a 30-Day Free Trial of Hulu.

In a moment of emotional crisis, Alison (West Duchovny) blurts out the suspicion that’s been weighing on her to a stranger in the bathroom: “Am I generic?” she sobs. And though the stranger assures her that she’s not, Saint X takes a more nuanced view.

In premise, the series would seem to be a fairly standard take on the dead-white-girl narrative, with Alison’s eventual unexplained death serving as the mystery at the heart of the plot. But as with the 2020 Alexis Schaitkin novel it’s based on, it upends those tropes by offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives that reconsider what kind of stories we expect from tragedies like these, and who gets to be at their center — or it aims to, anyway. Unfortunately, an accumulation of minor fumbles leaves what could’ve been an incisive subversion of a familiar story feeling, instead, more like a replication of it.

One sister isn’t letting the truth stay buried.

On Tuesday, Disney+ dropped the trailer for the new mystery series “Saint X”, executive produced by Drake and based on the best-selling novel by Alexis Schaitkin.

One of the most anticipated television releases of April is coming to Hulu on April 7. “Tiny Beautiful Things” stars Kathryn Hahn as troubled writer Clare. Ironically, she becomes a great advice columnist as her life falls apart. Her marriage is in trouble and her teen daughter hates her. Plus, her writing career is going nowhere. Based on the best-selling collection by Cheryl Strayed, the limited series explores the author’s journey toward healing herself and others.

Check out the “Tiny Beautiful Things” trailer:

Also arriving on Hulu in April is the series adaptation of the best-selling novel “Saint X.” The series is based on Alexis Schaitkin’s novel of the same name and follows a woman’s dangerous pursuit of her older sister’s disappearance on an idyllic Caribbean vacation. Through multiple timelines, the series explores all the traumatic ripples the mystery created for countless people. The series will star Alycia Debnam-Carey,...

Even if you’ve signed up for every streaming service out there, it can feel monumental when a title moves from one to another. In April, Netflix mainstay “New Girl” moves to Hulu; still streaming, but not where fans are used to finding it — like rearranging the furniture in your apartment and waking up surprised every day that the couch is over there now.

But what’s important is that “New Girl” lives on, now joining Hulu’s own TV and movie library and originals from Freeform, FX, National Geographic, and more. Later in the month, Leila Gerstein’s “Saint X” — based on the novel by Alexis Schaitkin — premieres with three episodes, recounting the story of a young girl found dead during a family vacation and the sister piecing it together years later. Alycia Debnam-Carey, Josh Bonzie, West Duchovny, Jayden Elijah, Bre Francis, Kenlee Anaya Townsend, Betsy Brandt, and Michael Park star.

Hulu has announced that their eight-part psychological drama series Saint X will make its streaming premiere on Wednesday, April 26th! The first three episodes of the show will be available to watch on that date, and the remaining five episodes will be released on a weekly basis. When we first heard about Saint X, Victoria Pedretti (The Haunting of Hill House) was attached to star – but after Pedretti left the project over “creative differences”, she was replaced by Alycia Debnam-Carey of Fear the Walking Dead.

Betsy Brandt and Michael Park have joined the cast of Hulu’s psychological drama Saint X.

The series is told via multiple timelines and perspectives, explores and upends the girl-gone-missing genre as it explains how a young woman’s mysterious death during an idyllic Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that eventually pulls her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth.

Brandt and Park will play Mia Thomas and Bill Thomas, respectively, in the eight-episode series adapted from Alexis Schaitkin’s novel. The characters are upper middle class parents of two, enjoying a family vacation in a Caribbean resort until one of their daughters goes missing.

They join previously announced talent including Alycia Debnam-Carey, who replaced previous lead Victoria Pedretti after she exited the series due to creative differences. The series also stars Josh Bonzie, West Duchovny and Jayden Elijah.
