Hulu has given a formal pilot order to Olga Dies Dreaming, a one-hour drama based on the forthcoming novel by Xochitl Gonzalez, from Gonzalez, Emmy-nominated and Sundance-winning filmmaker Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) and 20th Television. In anticipation of the official green light, the pilot already has been casting.
Written by Gonzalez and to be directed by Gomez-Rejon, Olga Dies Dreaming is the story of a Nuyorican brother and sister from a gentrifying Sunset Park, Brooklyn, reckoning with the absent, politically radical mother and their glittering careers among New York City’s elite in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
