According to Deadline, the streaming service has struck a six-figure penalty deal with screenwriter Eric Heisserer (Bird Box) to develop a series based on his short story Simultaneous.
Heisserer struck gold with the remarkable success of Netflix’s Bird Box, starring Sandra Bullock, which drew an estimated 45 million viewers in one week, according to the streaming service.
Colby Day is set to pen the script, while Kate Smith and Jordan Helman will oversee the project for Hulu.
The feature also stars Jacki Weaver, Rosa Salazar, Danielle Macdonald, Lil Rel Howery, Tom Hollander, Colson Baker, and BD Wong.
