Hulu Orders Keanu Reeves-Led DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY and THE OTHER BLACK GIRL

Hulu has officially ordered two new series: DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, starring Keanu Reeves, and THE OTHER BLACK GIRL.

“These two new series both speak to the kind of distinct storytelling with uniquely compelling characters and forward-thinking narratives we continue to aim for in all that we do,” said Craig Erwich, President, Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, in a statement. “Both were best-selling books that pierced the culture as they hit shelves, and we look forward to the honor of continuing to tell those stories on screen,” he continued.

According to the streamer, “DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY is based on the bestselling novel by Erik Larson, which tells the story of Dr. H. H. Holmes, a serial killer and the man behind the “Murder Castle” at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Daniel H. Burnham, a demanding but brilliant architect who races to make his mark on the world.” It will be penned by CASTLE ROCK’s Sam Shaw, and produced by Appian Way, Martin Scorsese, Rick Yorn, Jennifer Davisson, Stacey Sher, and Reeves.

THE OTHER BLACK GIRL which hails from Onyx Collective, “is from Executive Producers Rashida Jones, Tara Duncan, Adam Fishbach, Zakiya Dalila Harris, Danielle Henderson; and Temple Hill’s Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey. The series tells the story of Nella, an editorial assistant who is tired of being the only black girl at her company, so she’s excited when Hazel is hired. But as Hazel’s star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the company.”
