Hulu has released a 30-second trailer for its British comedy series Maxxx, which “offers an outrageous, rude and cringe-inducing peek behind the pop world’s curtain at the drugs, sex, insecurity and fragile narcissism of those who seek validation and meaning in all the wrong places”.
According to the official synopsis, the show, written, co-directed, executive produced by The Handmaid’s Tale’s O-T Fagbenle, who also stars in the leading role, revolves around “formerly famous boyband star turned drug-shamed tabloid laughing stock Maxxx,” who is “trying to make a comeback to prove to the world – but mostly to his famous supermodel ex-girlfriend – that he’s not the massive loser everyone says he is.” His quest to become a star again isn’t going to be easy as there also are Amit, his adopted teenage son, who is in serious need of daddy-advice, Rose, who is his cousin/superfan/stalker and pops around every corner, and Tamzin, a manager whose only client is Maxxx.
The cast also includes Christopher Meloni, Helen Monks, and supermodel Jourdan Dunn.
All episodes of Maxxx are now streaming on Hulu.
