The streaming service Hulu has greenlit a pilot episode for ‘Foster Dade,’ a collaboration between Greg Berlanti and Bash Doran. The narrative originates from ‘Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos,’ the inaugural novel of Nash Jenkins. The setting for the story is a cultured mystery unfurling within the confines of a prestigious boarding school located on the Eastern Seaboard.
The central narrative of ‘Foster Dade’ intends to delve into a myriad of contemporary issues. The exploration encompasses privilege, notoriety, sexual identity, and the construct of masculinity. The narrative’s backdrop touches on the burgeoning influence of social media, generalized millennial tension, and widespread use of pharmaceuticals.
The creative helm for ‘Foster Dade’ rests with Berlanti and Doran, both of whom are serving as the executive producers and writers. The project is an outcome of a collaboration with Warner Bros. TV, the studio Berlanti Productions has a standing agreement with.
Apart from Berlanti and Doran, ‘Foster Dade’ boasts an impressive list of executive producers, including Nash Jenkins, who also serves as the author of the original novel, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Robbie Rogers and Donald De Line. De Line is producing under the banner of his own corporation, De Line Pictures.
Berlanti has been consistently delivering high-quality content under his agreement with Warner Bros. Television. His recent impressive portfolio includes his role as an executive producer in several popular series like NBC’s ‘Found,’ The CW’s ‘All American,’ Netflix’s ‘You,’ and NBC’s ‘Brilliant Minds.’
If the ‘Foster Dade’ series receives a green signal, it will mark a high-profile return for Berlanti to television writing. His illustrious writing career includes popular hits such as ‘You,’ ‘Superman & Lois,’ ‘The Flash,’ and ‘Titans.’
Bash Doran is recognized for her writing skills, most notably the creation and scripting of the BBC series ‘Life After Life.’ Her resume demonstrates vast experience, including writing credits for ‘Masters of Sex,’ ‘Traitors,’ ‘Outlaw King,’ ‘Smash,’ ‘The Looming Tower,’ and ‘Boardwalk Empire.’
‘Beef,’ a successful Netflix series, is another feather in Doran’s cap, where she served as a producer. Doran’s screenwriting talents stretch into filmmaking as well, with her movie ‘Henry,’ featuring Ralph Fiennes, slated to commence shooting in 2026.
In addition to her developing projects, Doran has taken on the challenge of translating ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ into a screenplay for the prestigious 20th Century Fox.
Hulu, the platform set to host ‘Foster Dade,’ recently extended a commitment for a full series of ‘Phony.’ The series, under the production house 20th Television, stars the likes of Connie Britton and Sam Nivola.
