00:00A scripted series about Hillary Clinton could be coming to Hulu.
00:03The streamer is teaming up with The Affair co-creator Sarah Treem to adapt Curtis Sittenfeld's
00:07best-selling fictional novel, Rodham, as a scripted drama series.
00:11The potential series is currently in the development stage.
00:14Published in May, Rodham imagines an alternative history where Hillary Rodham never marries
00:18Bill Clinton, and asks what would have happened to her life in our country if she had made
00:22a different choice.
00:23A modern parable about choices, feminism, and why this country is such a complicated
00:27relationship to women in power, Rodham tells the story of an ambitious young woman, developing
00:32her extraordinary mind in the latter part of the 20th century, moving from idealism to
00:37cynicism and all the way back again.
00:39Should Rodham move forward, it would be Hulu's second Hillary Clinton-focused series.
00:43The streamer also teamed up with Clinton for Hillary, a four-part docuseries featuring interviews
00:48with the former presidential candidate and dozens of her friends, colleagues, journalists,
00:52and family members.
00:53That series launched in March.
00:55I said, if you're going to keep looking at me, and I'm going to keep looking back,
00:59we ought to know each other's names.
01:01I'm Hillary Rodham, who are you?
01:03She was different than anybody I ever met.
01:04I said, I really want to marry you, but you shouldn't marry me.
01:07Rodham would join a Hulu scripted roster that also includes The Handmaid's Tale,
01:11The Great, and Rami, among others.
