HARD PASS: Hulu Passes on Hillary Clinton Project 'Rodham' After 2 Years in Development

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.17.22

After two years in development at streaming giant Hulu, Hillary Clinton’s project “Rodham” has been given the no-go by the platform execs. The news comes as the television industry gathers for theĀ upfront presentations from some of media’s major content players.

From Variety…

Hulu has passed on ā€œRodham,ā€ writer-producer Sarah Treemā€™s adaptation of the 2020 Curtis Sittenfeld novel thatā€™s been in development at the streamer since summer 2020. But 20th Television is still is shopping the project to other streamers, now that Claire DanesĀ andĀ Dakota Fanning are attached to play Clinton at different stages of her life. In the package, Treem will write and executive produce, and James Ponsoldt will direct, with ā€œHandmaidā€™s Taleā€ producer Warren Littlefieldā€™s Littlefield Co. behind it.

ā€œRodhamā€ ā€” published in May 2020, and a New York Times bestseller ā€” imagined an alternative universe in which Hillary Rodham Clinton met and dated Bill Clinton at Yale Law School, but never married him. Instead of the life Clinton has actually led, in ā€œRodham,ā€ she goes on to thrive as a Northwestern University professor, and launches an eventual presidential run in 2016. Real-world events ā€” such as rape accusations against Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump as a significant figure in politics ā€” also play out in Sittenfeldā€™s novel, but in vastly altered ways.
