Will Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan are officially back in the sitcom business.

Hulu has ordered to series Mid-Century Modern from the duo, who will executive produce alongside Ryan Murphy. The multicamera project stars Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer, who will also executive produce.Nathan Lee Graham and Linda Lavin also star.

The series order for Mid-Century Modern, produced by 20th Television, comes less than two months after Hulu ordered a pilot for the show an unusually quick turnaround for a streaming service. Here is the logline, followed by character descriptions: The series follows three best friends gay gentlemen of a certain age who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, theres always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.

Lane stars as Bunny Schneiderman, a successful businessman with one foot in retirement who is forever in search of love, but he first has to be convinced hes worthy of it.

Bomer plays Jerry Frank,who left the Mormon Church and his marriage in his early 20s after his wife informed him and the rest of the congregation that he was a homosexual. Now a latter-day saint in the literal sense of the term, Jerry is pure of heart. He is also hard of body and soft of head.

Graham plays Arthur, a dignified, elegant fashion industry veteran who believes that life will never quite match the grace and panache that would exist if only he were in charge.

Lavin plays Sybil Schneiderman, Bunnys mother, whose strengths are her weaknesses: wise, caring, and iconoclastic which sometimes means shes critical, smothering and amoral.

Mutchnick and Kohan created and executive produced NBCs groundbreaking, 18-time Emmy-winning comedy Will Grace, which ran for 11 seasons and ended its run in 2020 after it was revived in 2017. Mid-Century Modern is their first project to go to series since then; they also were behind a CBS pilot titled Wilde Things in the 2020-21 development cycle.

This is the latest series from Murphy, who also on Tuesday revealed new details about his forthcoming FX series Grotesquerie.
