Hulu passes on pilots for Less Than Zero and Carrie Brownstein's Search and Destroy

Deadline

A TV series based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 1980s novel is dead at Hulu. “It was a tonally very ambitious but ultimately it didn’t feel like the elements came together,” says Hulu vice president of originals Craig Erwich, in an interview with Deadline. Meanwhile, former Portlandia star Brownstein's TV series, set in the feminist and fiercely independent punk scene of the 1990s and inspired by her memoir, was a "very special project but ultimately didn’t fit our needs at the time," says Erwich.
