Gilbert Flores/Variety Jodie Whittaker has been cast opposite Ellen Pompeo in the Hulu pilot “Chicks,” Variety has confirmed.
The pilot was first announced with Pompeo in a lead role back in June. The logline describes it as “a family dramedy set in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods of old Boston, about Chickie (Pompeo) and Doreen (Whittaker), two estranged half-sisters who are both struggling to get by when their wise guy dad unexpectedly kicks the bucket. Their only inheritance is a legacy of two-bit crime that inspires them to run increasingly audacious frauds. As their con grows, so does their odd-couple bond, as they each start to fill the father-shaped hole in the other’s heart.”
