Hulu Is Making An Alternate-history Hillary Clinton Series

You may think, four years on from the 2016 presidential election, at a harrowing point in American history when the country is being ravaged by a pandemic and federal agents are being deployed to make arrests in cities across the nation, that there simply wouldn't be a market for more Hillary Clinton fanfiction. Hulu is willing to bet you're wrong.

The streaming service announced yesterday that it has optioned the rights to Curtis Sittenfield's Rodham, a novel which imagines a world where Hillary never married Bill Clinton. Sarah Treem is attached as writer and executive producer. The Handmaid’s Tale executive producer Warren Littlefield will also serve as executive producer.

When news of the series' development hit Twitter, many were unenthused.

One wonders and fears how the series will handle the book's gratuitous sex scenes between Hill and Bill.
