Paging Dr. 'Chance': Hugh Laurie Takes the Lead of New Hulu Series
They had us at Hugh Laurie Does Anything, but we may need mouth-to-mouth after learning the "House" alum will lead "Chance," Hulu's new psychological thriller series.
According to Deadline, Laurie will play San Francisco-based forensic neuropsychiatrist Dr. Eldon Chance, who gets drawn into a world of mistaken identity, police corruption, and mental illness. "Chance" is based on the novel by Kem Nunn, with Alexandra Cunningham ("Desperate Housewives," "Aquarius") as showrunner, and "Room" director Lenny Abrahamson as an executive producer and director of several episodes. "Chance" already has a two-season 20 episode order for a late 2016 premiere, which is a strong early show of support.
So if you were on the fence about subscribing to Hulu, consider the return of Dr. Laurie to a lead series role. (Question: Is there Any way we can drag Robert Sean Leonard into this thing, so it's a full House & Wilson reunion?)
Deadline said Hugh Laurie had been the No.
