Hulu is getting back into business with The Dropout creator Liz Meriwether.
The streamer has ordered a drama series from Meriwether that’s loosely based on the 1987 movie Black Widow. Emmy Rossum is also an executive producer and is in talks to play one of the lead roles.
The untitled show will follow an FBI agent who uses secrets from a female serial killer’s past to try and find her. Rossum would play the FBI agent should her acting deal go through.
The 1987 Black Widow — no relation to the Marvel character played by Scarlett Johansson — starred Debra Winger as the FBI agent and Theresa Russell as the killer, who married and then killed wealthy men to collect inheritance.
