Hulu Orders Mandy Patinkin's Detective Series CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN MURDER AND MAYHEM
Hulu has announced that they have given a ten-episode order to the drama series Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem, starring Mandy Patinkin (The Princess Bride, Homeland, The Good Fight) and Violett Beane (God Friended Me, The Flash).
The pilot is being directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man, Gifted) and written by Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams, the duo that brought us the great series Stumptown. The description for the show states:
“How do you solve a murder in a post-fact world? Especially when sailing the Mediterranean on an ocean liner filled with the wealthy and powerful. Everyone on board is hiding something… but is one of them a killer? That’s what the world’s once greatest detective, Rufus Cotesworth, played by Patinkin, and his protégée, played by Beane, aim to discover. The truth at all costs.”
It sounds a lot like the recent film, Death on the Nile, but I’m sure it will be given an original spin. Patinkin and Beane are joined in the cast by Lauren Patten, Rahul Kohli, Angela Zhou, Hugo Diego Garcia, and Pardis Saremi. Stay tuned for more updates on the series.
