Disney’s Hulu Axes Hillary Series After 2 Years in Development

May 18, 2022

Disney-owned Hulu has axed its planned dramatic series about failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton — titled Rodham — after nearly two years in development, according to a report from Variety.

Hulu’s decision not to proceed with the show comes as a surprise since the streamer is the home of the four-part 2020 documentary Hillary, which features a lengthy sit-down interview with the corrupt radical.

Rodham is based on the 2020 Curtis Sittenfeld novel which imagines what would have happened if the young Hillary Rodham had never married Bill Clinton. In the novel, Hillary becomes a Northwestern University professor and eventually runs for president in 2016.

20th Television, which is producing the series, is reportedly shopping the project to other streaming outlets, with stars Claire Danes and Dakota Fanning expected to play Clinton at different stages of her life.

Good luck with that. Streaming companies are finding out that such heavy-handed woke idolatry isn’t exactly a magnet for viewers.
