‘Life and Beth’: Hulu Reveals First Images for the Amy Schumer, Michael Cera Series!! Check It Out!!

Away from a main TV role ever since the end of her own series Inside Amy Schumer, actor and comedian Amy Schumer is about to make a comeback with a Hulu series. Life & Beth, which is set to premiere in mid-March, will tell the story of an incredibly accomplished woman who doesn’t feel this way. The comedy/drama series will explore the path that made the title character feel this way across its ten episodes, and we probably can expect a heck of a ride as she figures herself out

The first-look images unveiled by Hulu reveal that we can look forward to Schumer and Michael Cera sharing a lot of onscreen time as they are seen in several scenes together: in a hospital, having breakfast, and in some unexpected other situations. Hulu is yet to reveal Violet Young (National Geographic‘s Genius) in character as a young version of Schumer, as she will play teenage Beth in flashbacks across several episodes.

The not-so-bright cinematography underscores the drama aspect of Life & Beth, which will also deal with childhood traumas and the difficulties involved in finding one’s own path. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the series played out like a I May Destroy You of sorts – an HBO series starring Michaela Coel that mixed comedy with severely heavy themes to showcase how life is far from black and white.

Just like several other Schumer projects, Life & Beth is written, executive produced and directed by the actor, who became prominent after doing stand-up and sketch comedy shows with a bluntly honest approach about life and being a female comedian. She has recently starred in the drama film The Humans and as herself in Amy Schumer Learns to Cook, a series she filmed herself during the pandemic.

Aside from Schumer, Cera, and Young, the cast of Life & Beth also features Susannah Flood, Kevin Kane, Yamaneika Saunders, Laura Benanti, Larry Owens, Michael Rapaport, Rosebud Walker, and LaVar Walker.

Hulu premieres all 10 episodes of Life & Beth on March 18. Check out the images below:
