Natasha Rothwell is taking her talents to Hulu.
Rothwell, known for series like Insecure and The White Lotus, will star in, write, and co-showrun How to Die Alone, a comedy that has received a series order from the streamer.
Per Hulu and studio Onyx Collective, the half-hour comedy is set to follow Melissa (Rothwell), "a fat, Black, neurotic woman who has never been in love. After a comical brush with death, she refuses to settle for anything less than the life she wants, catapulting her on a journey to becoming '100 percent that bitch' in real life by any means necessary."
Vera Santamaria (Pen15) will serve as co-showrunner alongside Rothwell on the series, and both will executive produce the eight-episode season.
