Sitcom Difficult People is set to follow Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner (both known for their work on Funny Or Die) as two best friends living together in New York, who hate pretty much everyone but each other. Its set to air on streaming service Hulu, which is looking for a big original hit, and has Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler on board as an executive producer, so it does have a bit of comedic power behind it. Eichner has mentioned that communicating through pop-culture is something theyll be bringing to the show, while Klausner admitted to looking at Curb Your Enthusiasm for the tone and structure. Those comments, coupled with the talent behind the show, suggest that this should have enough to succeed amongst what seems a pretty competitive field of new comedies.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
