Hulu Picks Up 'Phony' Starring Britton & Nivola

Imagine a teenager wakes up after an accident and his mom seems different, like an imposter.

That's the story of 'Phony,' a new show coming to Hulu.

It stars Connie Britton and Sam Nivola.

The show is about a teenager whose mom, who is also his best friend, might not be who she seems.

The pilot was written and directed by Nick Paley, who also helped write the movie Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.

Connie Britton will play the mom, who is also the high school principal.

Sam Nivola plays the teenager.

It's a mystery with a coming-of-age twist!
