Hulu Orders NFL Drama Series from Dan Fogelman

Dan Fogelman, known for creating the acclaimed series 'This Is Us', is developing a new untitled drama series set in the NFL for Hulu. The show, which has received a series order, is said to feature a generational family dynamic, a hallmark of Fogelman's previous work. Produced by 20th Television and Skydance Sports, this project marks Fogelman's third collaboration with Hulu, following 'Only Murders in the Building' and the upcoming 'Paradise'. Details on the plot remain sparse, but the series aims to delve into the intricacies of family life against the backdrop of professional football. Fogelman has a history with sports dramas, having previously co-created the short-lived series 'Pitch', which focused on a female baseball player. The NFL is actively seeking to expand its scripted content, making this collaboration timely and potentially significant for both Fogelman and the league.
