Summary
Hulu has ordered a pilot for “Chicks,” a Boston-set dramedy that will star Ellen Pompeo as Chickie while she also executive produces.
Katie Robbins wrote the project after conversations with Pompeo during their work on Hulu’s “Good American Family,” where the two previously collaborated.
The pilot follows two estranged half-sisters after their wise-guy father’s unexpected death, with his legacy pushing them to run increasingly audacious frauds amid Boston gentrification.
Production is expected to begin in New York in September, even though the series is set in Boston neighborhoods.
