Six years since “Inside Amy Schumer” ended, the popular comedian is making her return to scripted television with Hulu’s “Life & Beth.”
Directed by, written by and starring Schumer, “Life and Beth” follows its titular character in two pivotal periods of her life: as a teenager, played by Violet Young, and as a successful wine distributor approaching 40, played by Schumer. When a sudden incident forces the adult Beth to reexamine whether she wants the life she built for herself, she begins to look back at her childhood in an attempt to discover how she became who she is and figure out who she wants to become.
In addition to Schumer and Young, Michael Cera portrays Beth’s love interest and farmer named John, and Michael Rapaport plays her father. The cast is rounded out by Yamaneika Saunders and Laura Benanti. Schumer will executive produce alongside Kevin Kane, Daniel Powell and Ryan McFaul.
