- Hulu has secured a pilot script commitment for the comedy series Music Theories.
- Michael Vlamis will write and executive produce Music Theories, which is described as VH1 Behind the Music meets American Vandal and will explore the story behind “Stacey’s Mom.”
- Kyle Anderson will co‑write and co‑executive produce Music Theories alongside Vlamis.
- Dan Lagana is attached as executive producer and showrunner for Music Theories, bringing experience from Netflix’s American Vandal.
- Colin Davis will also executive produce, with Polygram Entertainment’s Jody Gerson and David Blackman joining as exec producers.
- Vlamis previously wrote the Black List‑featured biopic Blue Slide Park and co‑wrote the thriller Crossword with Anderson, showing a track record in music‑related storytelling.
- Lagana previously co‑wrote and produced the family comedy The Breadwinner and has projects in development at HBO, Amazon, and MTV, highlighting his broad comedic pedigree.
Why it matters: Hulu expands its original comedy lineup with a music‑themed series, giving the streaming service fresh, potentially binge‑worthy content while providing Vlamis, Anderson, and Lagana a high‑profile platform to leverage their track records in music‑related storytelling and mock‑umentary humor and may attract viewers who enjoy both documentary‑style revelations and irreverent comedy.
