Hulu Rocks the Boat with New Yacht Rock Comedy "Double or Nothing"

Hulu is developing Double or Nothing, a yacht rock comedy from Theodore Bressman and Neel Shah.

What's Happening:

• Deadline reported on the development of the new series, which has been dubbed a "yacht rock comedy" – referring to that wonderful, niche genre of music from artists like Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, and TOTO.
• Written by Bressman and Shah, Double or Nothing sees a washed-up yacht rocker gets a second chance at greatness when he teams up with a hungry young rapper to make the album of both of their lives. It’s a half-hour comedy about getting it right the second time around.
• With 20th Television on board as the studio, Bressman and Shah will executive produce with Mark Ronson, Peter Rosenberg, Brandon Creed & Mikey Schwartz-Wright for Good World Productions and Bryan Diperstein for Adventure Media Productions.
• WGA Award-nominated Bressman has written for series such as Pam & Tommy, Miracle Workers, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and co-created Peacock's The Pole.
• Shah received an Emmy nomination for his work on the first season of Nobody Wants This, which is produced by 20th Television and streams on Netflix.
