Life & Beth will launch with all ten episodes on March 18, only on Hulu.
Beth’s life would look pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with. She makes a good living as a wine distributor. She’s in a long-term relationship with a successful guy and lives in Manhattan.
When a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past, her life changes forever. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become.
We’ll go on her journey towards building a bigger, bolder, and more authentic life. Learning to express herself and living in an intentional way. A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy, and moving forward.
Life & Beth is written, directed, and executive produced by Amy Schumer and executive produced by Kevin Kane, Daniel Powell, and Ryan McFaul. The series is produced by Endeavor Content.
