Kerry Washington to Star in Hulu Adaptation of What Remains

Washington's attachment, alongside writer Chris Luccy and director McG, signals Hulu's intent to develop a star-driven prestige thriller.

Overview

  • Hulu is developing a television adaptation of Wendy Walker's 2023 novel What Remains, a move first reported Thursday that confirms Washington will star and serve as an executive producer.
  • Chris Luccy is adapting the book for the screen and McG is set to direct, establishing the core creative team for the project.
  • 20th Television and Kapital Entertainment are listed as the primary studios, with Simpson Street and Wonderland Sound and Vision participating and author Wendy Walker credited as a producer.
  • The announcement does not include a formal series order, a premiere date or additional cast, so the project remains in early development rather than a finished or greenlit series.
  • Washington's ongoing relationship with Hulu and 20th Television positions the show for mainstream streaming visibility and suggests the next coverage will focus on casting, a series order and the production timeline.
