Hulu Orders DURANGO Drama Series From Y: THE LAST MAN Showrunner Eliza Clark
Hulu has given the greenlight for a new drama titled Durango, from writer Eliza Clark (FX’s Y: The Last Man). Written by Clark, Durango follows Mikey, a ski bum townie chasing a buzz, and Bunny, a homeschooled runaway working as a greasy-spoon waitress.
Together they’re riding an avalanche of bad decisions and falling in love while running from cops, criminals, and Mikey’s wife in pursuit of their own American dream.
A year and a half ago, Hulu reverted to a more traditional model where pilots are the norm and direct-to-series orders the exception, reserved for rare projects like Dan Fogelman’s upcoming NFL drama The Land or Mindy Kaling’s comedy Not Suitable For Work, as well as for limited series.
In lieu of traditional pilot season, Hulu has been picking up a handful of pilots a couple of times a year. This is expected to again be the case, with Durango followed by one and possibly two more pilot orders.
