Washington D.C. [USA], July 26 (ANI): Actor-comedian Amy Schumer is heading back to TV! Hulu is expanding its original comedy slate and its relationship with the star, with a new series titled 'Love, Beth'.
The upcoming series is ordered straight by the streaming platform as part of a first-look deal with the Emmy-award winner, reported E!News.

Hulu made the happy announcement at the 2019 Television Critics Association Press Tour. The streaming service is also teaming up with Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi on a new untitled series described as a "living cookbook made up more from people and culture than recipes."

The series is set to roll out on November 15 with all the 10 episodes.
Fans will also get to see 'Reprisal' starring Abigail Spencer, Rodrigo Santoro, Mena Massoud, Madison Davenport, Rhys Wakefield, David Dastmalchian, W Earl Brown and Gilbert Owuor this year. The new series, about a relentless femme fatale, debuts all 10 episodes on December 6.
