In a six-way bidding warfare, Hulu has landed Phony, a half-hour mission from Marcel the Shell with Footwear On co-writer Nick Paley. Hulu wouldn’t remark, however I hear the mission, which has been laid off at ABC Signature, has acquired a script-to-series dedication with an enormous, high-six/low-seven-figure penalty. ABC Signature-based Drew Goddard, author of The Martian and creator of Marvel’s Daredevil collection, is becoming a member of as an govt producer.
Written by Paley, Phony is a coming-of-age thriller described as Freaks and Geeks trapped in The Twilight Zone. It follows Sonny, a preferred highschool child who wakes up after a wierd automobile accident and discovers his mother has been changed by an impostor.
