Actor Matt Bomer has recently shared exciting news about his latest project, Mid-Century Modern, a sitcom that takes inspiration from the beloved classic Golden Girls, but with a modern, LGBTQ+ twist. Bomer announced via Instagram that the first season of this highly anticipated series has wrapped up production, much to the delight of his fans and the LGBTQ+ community.
Production Completion Announcement
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Bomer, known for his role in Fellow Travelers, expressed his enthusiasm: “That’s a wrap on season one of Mid-Century Modern.” This announcement was accompanied by a photo from the set, which garnered numerous comments from excited fans eager to see the show come to life.
The series stars Bomer alongside other notable actors, including Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham of Zoolander fame, and Linda Lavin, a celebrated actress known for her work on stage and screen. Lavin’s involvement in the project was sadly her last, as she passed away in December due to complications from lung cancer at the age of 87.
A Tribute to Linda Lavin
Bomer paid a touching tribute to his co-star on social media, expressing his gratitude for having worked with such a talented and inspiring individual. He described Lavin as an “icon, a phenomenal artist, and a deeply caring human being,” whose legacy will continue to inspire many, including himself. “She will be greatly missed by all of us,” he added.
The show promises to bring laughter and warmth as it follows the lives of three gay men who choose to retire together in the picturesque locale of Palm Springs, California. This setting provides the perfect backdrop for a sitcom that combines humor with heartfelt moments, drawing comparisons to Golden Girls while also carving out its unique identity.
Matt Bomer's Vision
In discussing the creative influences behind Mid-Century Modern, Bomer mentioned that the show pays homage not only to Golden Girls but also to other classic television characters that have inspired him throughout his life. “It’s sort of a hybrid, but I would definitely say it’s a spiritual cousin,” he explained, highlighting the blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling that the show aims to deliver.
The anticipation for Mid-Century Modern is palpable, with fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to stream all ten episodes on Hulu. The series is set to premiere on March 28, promising to offer viewers a delightful mix of comedy, camaraderie, and representation.

The announcement of the show’s completion and upcoming release on Hulu has generated significant buzz. Comments on Bomer’s Instagram post reveal a groundswell of excitement, with fans expressing their eagerness to watch the new series. Many have noted the importance of representation on screen and how a show like this can resonate with viewers who identify with the LGBTQ+ community.
Bomer, who has been married to publicist Simon Halls since 2011, continues to be an influential figure in Hollywood, not only for his acting prowess but also for his advocacy and representation of LGBTQ+ narratives in mainstream media. His involvement in projects like Mid-Century Modern underscores his commitment to bringing diverse stories to the forefront.
