Carla Woodcock and Callum Kerr Cast in Hulu's Hour-Long Musical Drama Series HISTORY OF A PLEASURE SEEKER
Actors Carla Woodcock (Free Rein, Pandora) and Callum Kerr (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hollyoaks) have been cast in the Hulu drama series History of a Pleasure Seeker. The hour-long musical series is based on Richard Mason’s novel and will be directed by Bridgerton director Julie Anne Robinson.
Written and executive produced by Mason, History of a Pleasure Seeker is a musical drama set in Amsterdam in 1907 — a tale of a charismatic young man’s explosive adventures through all the temptations of the Belle Époque.
The book, which was published in 2012 by Penguin Random House, follows Piet Barol, who has an instinctive appreciation for pleasure and a gift for finding it. When his mother dies, Piet applies for a job as tutor to the troubled son of Europe’s leading hotelier – a child who refuses to leave his family’s mansion on one of Amsterdam’s grandest canals. As Piet enters this glittering world, he learns its secrets and finds his life transformed.
Constance is the most magnetic girl in Amsterdam; undisputed queen of the city’s gilded youth, while Piet, tutor to a very troubled child, is an extreme empath, with the confidence to back himself against the odds. His smile and sex appeal open doors, but his real superpower is his intuition.
The pair just worked together in the limited series Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.
