'Mid-Century Modern' with Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer brings friendship, fun and lots of laughs to Hulu

LOS ANGELES — Hulu’s newest sitcom “Mid-Century Modern” is being likened to the iconic “Golden Girls.”

Instead of four women living together in Miami, this one’s about three gay men living together in Palm Springs.

Plus, there is a fourth person to help deliver the laughter: the late, great Linda Lavin, who plays the mom to Nathan Lane’s character.

Sadly, Lavin died during production, and her death hit the cast hard.

“Lane expressed admiration for the versatile actress, highlighting her exceptional talent in both comedy and drama on stage.

Lane said some of the comedy in “Mid-Century Modern” asks you to do a little tap dancing along the edge.

“The availability of Hulu as a platform provides us with greater flexibility in content, allowing us to push boundaries beyond what is typically permitted on network television,” he explained.

Along with Matt Bomer, Nathan Lee Graham is also part of the fun.

He said he’s always been able to “act” by using his face.

“Well, my mother used to call me Lon Chaney when I was a baby, because I was a man of a thousand faces,” said Graham.

Bomer said the new comedy series pushes things, and that’s fun for the cast.

“In contrast to the traditional sitcom format, our show explores mature themes and portrays authentic relationships reminiscent of Norman Lear’s storytelling, blending humor with more profound issues,” he emphasized.

All 10 episodes of “Mid-Century Modern” are streaming now on Hulu.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
