Star of the 1994 flick “Four Weddings and a Funeral” Andie MacDowell is set to star on the upcoming limited TV series, scheduled on Hulu. The series is inspired by the classic film, and is being written and exec produced by Mindy Kaling and Matt Warburton.
MacDowell will play a different character to that of her’s in the film, and Nathalie Emmanuel has been cast as the lead. Other cast include new additions Brandon Mychal Smith, Zoe Boyle, Jennie Jacques, Harish Patel, and Guz Khan, and previously cast Nikesh Patel, Rebecca Rittenhouse and John Reynolds.
According to Deadline, the series revolves around four American friends — Maya (Emmanuel), Craig (Smith), Ainsley (Rittenhouse) and Duffy (Reynolds) — who reunite for a fabulous London wedding. But after a bombshell at the altar throws their lives into turmoil, they must weather a tumultuous year of romance and heartbreak. Relationships are forged and broken, political scandals exposed, London social life lampooned, love affairs ignited and doused, and of course, there are four weddings… and a funeral. MacDowell will play Mrs. Howard, Ainsley’s (Rittenhouse) mother. Boyle will play Gemma, Jacques has been cast as Zara, Patel will play Haroon, and Khan will be Basheer.
“Four Weddings and a Funeral” will head into production shortly, for a 2019 debut.
