Hulu has released the official trailer for its upcoming series Tiny Beautiful Things, based on the best-selling collection by Cheryl Strayed and from Reese Witherspoon’s production company.
The show follows Clare (Kathryn Hahn), a writer who becomes a revered advice columnist while her own life is falling apart.
“When we first meet Clare, her marriage to her husband Danny (Quentin Plair) is barely limping along; her teenage daughter, Rae (Tanzyn Crawford), is pushing her away; and her once-promising writing career is non-existent. So when an old writing pal asks her to take over as the advice columnist Dear Sugar, she thinks she has no business giving anyone advice. After reluctantly taking on the mantle of Sugar however, Clare’s life unfurls in a complex fabric of memory, exploring her most pivotal moments from childhood through present day, and excavating the beauty, struggle, and humor in her unhealed wounds. Through Sugar, Clare forms a salve for her readers – and for herself – to show us that we are not beyond rescue, that our stories can ultimately save us. And, perhaps, bring us back home,” the official synopsis reads.
The cast also includes Owen Painter (The Handmaid’s Tale), Merritt Wever (Nurse Jackie, The Walking Dead), Elizabeth Hinkler (The Good Doctor), and Michaela Watkins (The Unicorn, Catastrophe).
The trailer gives viewers a glimpse into Clare’s life before she takes over the advice column, as well as into her life after she does that. In voiceover we get to hear some of the answers she gives to those writing her, which are full of emotion and almost bringing audiences to tears.
The song used in the trailer is Light On by Maggie Rogers.
Tiny Beautiful Things will be available on Hulu on April 7, 2023.
