Jesse Eisenberg has been cast in the title role in FX on Hulu’s limited series “Fleishman Is In Trouble” based on Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s best-selling novel.
The story revolves around recently separated forty-something Toby Fleishman (Eisenberg) who dives into the new world of app-based dating with a level of success he never had before he got married.
At the same time, his ex-wife, Rachel, disappears and leaves him with the kids – with no indication of where she is or if she plans on returning. Lizzy Caplan also stars as the series’ narrator and Toby’s friend with whom he reconnects after his divorce.
Brodesser-Akner, Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly, Susannah Grant, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris executive produce with the latter two directing the first block of the series.
