Hulu has released a trailer and poster for the upcoming comedy series The Drop.
The series stars Anna Konkle (PEN15) and Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America) as Lex and Mani, a happily married couple who find their marriage tested when Lex accidentally drops a friend’s baby at a wedding on a tropical island.
Joining Konkle and Fowler in the cast are Jillian Bell, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Robin Thede, Aparna Nancherla, Joshua Leonard, Jennifer Lafleur, and Elisha Henig.
Lex (“PEN15’s” Anna Konkle) and Mani (“Coming 2 America’s” Jermaine Fowler) are a happily married young couple, running their dream artisanal bakery in Los Angeles and excited about starting a family together. A trip to a tropical island resort for a friend’s destination wedding, coinciding with Lex’s ovulation cycle, feels like the perfect opportunity to conceive. But good vibes and high hopes are cut short when, shortly after their arrival to paradise, Lex accidentally drops her friend’s (Aparna Nancherla, “Search Party”) baby in front of all their friends. Paradise becomes purgatory for our couple as recriminations, passive-aggression and old wounds begin to permeate the island reunion and throw Mani and Lex’s future into deep uncertainty.
The Drop premieres on Hulu on January 13th.
