FX has ordered Will Arbery’s Seven Sisters pilot, starring Elizabeth Olsen, to series on Hulu.
In addition to Olsen, the drama stars Cristin Milioti and J. Smith-Cameron. The cast also includes Anthony Edwards, Meredith Hagner, Odessa Young, Zoë Winters, Bridget Brown, Carolyn Kettig, Philip Ettinger and Ryan Eggold.
Arbery executive produces the series from FX Productions alongside Garrett Basch and Sean Durkin, who directed the pilot in a reunion between Olsen and her Martha Marcy May Marlene helmer.
The series explores what happens when a large, tight-knit family begins to unravel and has to confront long buried secrets as a sister starts communicating with a voice no one else can hear.
“We’ve been on the lookout for a compelling family drama, and when Will Arbery and Garrett Basch brought us Seven Sisters we found one that felt uniquely FX,” FX Entertainment president Gina Balian said in a statement. “It lives in the deep relatable dynamics of adult siblings and their parents but does so in a way that’s bold and original with an unexpected twist. This group of incredibly gifted actors brings this family’s secrets to life in a way that will draw audiences in and keep them guessing until the very end.”
When The Hollywood Reporter recently asked Olsen about reuniting with Durkin for the pilot, she said, “It was more fun than I ever expected.”
She added, “It was really nice to get to work with each other again after 15 years of going off and developing ourselves in different ways — with life and with work.”
