Online streaming service Hulu on Tuesday announced it will partner with Amy Poehler for a straight-to-series pick up of the comedy “Difficult People.”
The half-hour comedy series, executive produced by Poehler and Dave Becky, is set to start production early next year, according to Universal Cable Productions.
“Difficult People” will star Julie Klausner, known for her role on “Billy on the Street,” as well as Bill Eichner, who hosted “Billy on the Street.”
“I tend to enjoy funny people creating and starring in comedy programs, and Julie and Billy are the funniest around,” Poehler said.
The series follows best friends living in New York City who find themselves in awkward situations due to their irreverent behavior, according to Universal.
