Hulu has picked up Eliza Clarke’s drama pilot “Durango” to series. The show stars Cooper Hoffman and Kathryn Newton, with additional casting announced as Merritt Wever, Mason Gooding, and Abbey Lee join the project. “Durango” follows Mikey (Hoffman), a ski bum townie who chases a buzz, and Bunny (Newton), a homeschooled runaway working as described in the logline.
The outlets report that Hulu ordered a pilot for the series earlier, and the series pickup comes about seven months after that pilot order. Clarke is credited as the writer of the pilot and as the showrunner for the series. The announcements also place the project within Clarke’s broader television work, with reporting that “Durango” is developed from her involvement including “Y: The Last Man,” and that other creators are associated with the production, including those named in coverage.
Overall, the coverage focuses on the series order, the lead cast, and Clarke’s role as showrunner, while the character and plot details appear primarily through the show’s logline.
