Hulu Plans Original Series From Emmy-Winning ‘Friday Night Lights’ Producer

Hulu will soon add a new drama to its roster of original programs. The streaming video-on-demand platform has ordered the The Way, from Emmy-winning producer and writer Jason Katims.

Arriving from Universal Television, The Way tells the story of a family dealing with the power-hungry issues and relational repercussions of a faith-based movement. Katims, known for his work on Parenthood and Friday Night Lights (for which he won a Primetime Emmy Award), will executive produce all ten episodes of The Way for Hulu through his production company True Jack Productions.

The Way is the first non-network television series from Katims and the executive producer’s first project to debut exclusively on a streaming platform. Michelle Lee will join Katims as an executive producer, along with The Way’s creator and writer Jessica Goldberg. Hulu’s blog notes the series is set to start production in the summer of 2015.
