Hulu’s ‘Mid-Century Modern’ Debuts with Praise for Heartfelt Storytelling

The sitcom, inspired by 'The Golden Girls,' addresses themes of chosen family and pays tribute to the late Linda Lavin in its ninth episode.

‘Mid-Century Modern,’ created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, is now streaming on Hulu, starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham, and the late Linda Lavin.
The ninth episode, 'Here’s to You, Mrs. Schneiderman,' serves as a poignant tribute to Linda Lavin, incorporating her real-life passing into the storyline.
The show modernizes the sitcom genre with realistic dialogue, inclusive storytelling, and a focus on found family and enduring friendships.
The creators intentionally avoided politically charged narratives, aiming instead to provide a comforting and inclusive viewing experience.
Discussions about a potential second season are underway, with plans to expand Pamela Adlon’s role as Bunny’s sister, Mindy, should the series continue.
