Overview
- The casting was first reported as an exclusive by Deadline and confirmed later the same day by Variety, which published Hulu’s official character copy and logline.
- Hulu’s logline frames Durango as a character-driven drama about Bunny and Mikey falling in love and fleeing cops, criminals, and Mikey’s wife while living in a snowbound ski town.
- Newton is set to play Bunny, described by Hulu as “beguiling, wild and deeply guarded,” while Cooper Hoffman will play Mikey, a local snowboarding figure who draws her out.
- The pilot is written and executive-produced by Eliza Clark with Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer attached, and it is being produced by 20th Television and Media Res.
- The project remains at pilot stage with no series pickup, and the casting comes as Newton balances several film commitments including a role in Avengers: Doomsday, which may increase industry attention on the pilot.
