Dan Fogelman’s New NFL Drama Series Greenlit by Hulu

Hulu has given the go-ahead for a new family drama series created by Dan Fogelman, the acclaimed creator of the hit TV show ‘This Is Us‘. The upcoming series, which is yet to be titled, will be set within the world of the National Football League (NFL) and will feature a generational family component.

Fogelman, known for his emotional and multi-generational storytelling in ‘This Is Us’, is returning to this genre with the new project. While specific plot details are being kept under wraps, the series is expected to delve into the complexities of family dynamics against the backdrop of the NFL. This marks another significant venture for Fogelman after his success with ‘This Is Us’ and his involvement in other projects like ‘Only Murders In the Building‘ and the upcoming thriller ‘Paradise‘.

The NFL setting is a new terrain for Fogelman, although the NFL was occasionally featured in ‘This Is Us’, particularly with the Pearson family‘s connection to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This new series promises to offer a unique blend of family drama and the high-stakes world of professional football.

This development comes as part of Hulu’s ongoing effort to expand its original content offerings, and it is anticipated to attract a significant audience given Fogelman’s track record with compelling family dramas.
