Ben Stiller is reportedly in the process of crafting a comedic anthology series for Hulu with his production company Red Hour. Titled Bitches, the brand new show is based on the popular 2013 Brazilian series, As Canalhas.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will showcase a different woman each week, who will confide her dirty deeds and misadventures to her hair stylist. The women featured will recount stories of confronting dominant husbands, turning the tables on frenemies, and finding sweet vengeance after being cruelly pushed to the edge. The series will be written by Nzingha Stewart and G.L. Lambert, and Ben Stiller will co-executive produce with Nicky Weinstock.
