Maggie, a new comedy coming to Hulu, gets it: Dating has never been easier thanks to apps and social media, but it’s also never been harder and more confusing. Well, imagine if you were also navigating all that as a psychic who thinks you’ve got a handle on things, only to discover that your destiny is not what you thought it would be. That’s the premise of Maggie, starring Rebecca Rittenhouse (The Mindy Project, Hulu’s Four Weddings and a Funeral).
The series comes from Justin Adler and Maggie Mull, who both worked on the CBS sitcom Life in Pieces. (Adler created the 2015–2019 comedy, while Mull was a writer and executive story editor.) Maggie originally started as a short film about a psychic who sees herself in a stranger’s reading and was written and directed by Tim Curcio. Mull was brought on to adapt it for television (the similarity in name is a coincidence).
Maggie premieres this summer on Hulu, and Glamour has the exclusive trailer—plus everything else you’ll want to know about this charming take on life and dating in your 30s.
When will Maggie on Hulu premiere?
The series premieres on Hulu on Wednesday, July 6. There are 13 episodes, which makes for an easy binge since every episode is under 30 minutes.
Who stars in it?
Rebecca Rittenhouse plays the lead role. You’ll remember her as Anna, one of the ob-gyns on The Mindy Project in seasons five and six who dated Jeremy (Ed Weeks).
Rittenhouse also starred in Hulu’s Four Weddings and a Funeral (also from Mindy Kaling), on which she played Kash’s fiancé, Ainsley.
