Aubrey Plaza is set to star in Hulu and 20th Television’s drama pilot “Olga Dies Dreaming” which follows a Nuyorican brother and sister (Plaza) in a gentrifying Sunset Park in Brooklyn.
The pair reckon with an absent, politically radical mother and their glittering careers among New York City’s elite in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
Plaza’s Olga is a renowned wedding planner whose surface successes mask a darker interior as her pursuit of perfection has become a compulsive survival mechanism.
The potential series is based on the yet-to-be-released novel of the same name by Xochitl Gonzalez. Gonzalez is writing and executive producing the pilot while Alfonso Gomez-Rejon will direct and executive produce.
