“Lucifer” star Tom Ellis and actor Emma Roberts will headline “Second Wife,” a new series from Hulu and 20th Television.
The romantic dramedy is created, executive produced and will be helmed by Meghan Oppenheimer, best known for Hulu and 20th TV’s smash hit series “Tell Me Lies,” according to entertainment news website Deadline.
“The Second Wife”, which is darkly comedic in tone and explores themes of intimacy, failure and second chances, follows the ups and downs of a blended family.
“After a terrible breakup, Sasha (Roberts) flees New York to start her life over in London, where she meets and quickly falls in love with a recently divorced father named Jacob (Ellis).
“When they impulsively decide to marry, they soon discover that there’s a lot they don’t know about each other – and they can’t let go of their past forever,” read the official plot.
The show reunites Ellis with Hulu and 20th TV as he stars in his upcoming limited series “Washington Black.” It is also the first creative collaboration between Ellis and his wife, Oppenheimer.
