Hulu acquires James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti’s comedy series Everyone Is Doing Great

James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti have had their new series Everyone Is Doing Great acquired by Hulu.

The One Tree Hill alums wrote, produced and starred in the comedy series about two washed-up actors who once starred in a popular TV show about vampires. 

Five years later, the former co-stars still lean on each other as they come-of-age late in life.

Much of the series was crowdfunded, with the streamer stepping in to distribute the eight episode first season according to Deadline. 

‘Distribution through Hulu was always our dream scenario, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the show’s opportunity to reach their audience,’ said Lafferty and Colletti in a statement.

‘A massive thank you to all the supporters of EDG that helped us climb the crowdfunding mountain, and to the incredibly talented, hard-working cast, crew, producers, family and friends that have gotten us through the various stages of this journey.’ 

‘We feel the road taken to get here is emblematic of the story EDG tells, one that’s rooted in love, friendship and finding humor in the struggle to figure it all out.’

The comedy also stars Alexandra Park, of The Royals fame.

One Tree Hill was created by Mark Schwahn and ran from 2003-2012.

As well as launching the careers of Lafferty and Colletti, the series also made household names of Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray.

In 2019, Bush and Burton along with 16 women who worked on the show wrote an open letter accusing Schwahn of sexual misconduct.
