Hulu has ordered a pilot for “Chicks,” a family dramedy starring and executive produced by Ellen Pompeo. The project reunites Pompeo with her “Good American Family” collaborator Katie Robbins, who writes the pilot and executive produces. Variety and Deadline both report that Pompeo is developing the series under her Calamity Jane banner alongside Laura Holstein, who also executive produces. The pilot is produced by 20th Television, which both outlets identify as the studio. The series is set in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods of old Boston and centers on Chickie, portrayed by Pompeo, as the story explores the pressures and changes surrounding her community. Deadline adds additional characterization and framing for the premise, while Variety confirms the core production roles, creative team, and Hulu’s pilot commitment. Both outlets present “Chicks” as a Hulu dramedy project in development that leverages Pompeo and Robbins’s prior collaboration.
