Actor Matt Bomer has thrilled fans with the announcement that production has wrapped on the first season of his much-anticipated new sitcom, Mid-Century Modern. This exciting series has been described as a "gay Golden Girls" and signifies another step forward in LGBTQ+ representation in entertainment.
Production Wrapped and Ready to Air
In a recent update shared on Instagram, Matt Bomer, known for his role in Fellow Travelers, expressed his joy and gratitude as filming concluded. He wrote, "That’s a wrap on season one of Mid-Century Modern." The announcement has sparked excitement among fans and followers, with many eagerly anticipating its release.
The show promises an all-star cast, featuring celebrated actors such as Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham from Zoolander, and the late Linda Lavin, who was a Tony and Golden Globe winner. Lavin's passing in December at age 87, due to complications from lung cancer, was a great loss to the industry. Bomer shared a heartfelt tribute to Lavin, saying, "I’m grateful to have been touched by her brilliance. She was an icon, a phenomenal artist, and a deeply caring human being who will remain an inspiration to so many, myself included." Her contribution to the series is a testament to her enduring legacy.
In his tribute, Bomer continued, "Linda was greatly missed by all of us, but her spirit lives on in the work she loved so dearly." This sentiment resonates with many who followed her illustrious career.
A Dream Come True
Bomer described the project as "a dream come true" and remarked, "I’m going to have to make a new bucket list." His enthusiasm for the show is palpable, and he shared his eagerness for audiences to experience it, announcing, "Mid-Century Modern is coming to Hulu soon." The series is set to be available for streaming, with all ten episodes dropping on March 28.
The new multi-camera show is expected to deliver nostalgia while breaking new ground. Bomer has previously stated, "There are nods to not only Golden Girls but also other characters from past shows which I grew up loving. It’s a hybrid, but I would definitely say it’s a spiritual cousin." This blend of homage and innovation is sure to resonate with fans both old and new.
A New Chapter in LGBTQ+ Storytelling
Set in the sun-drenched locale of Palm Springs, California, the sitcom follows three gay men as they embark on their retirement together. This setting provides a picturesque backdrop for a series that aims to capture the essence of friendship and community often celebrated in beloved classics like Golden Girls.
The premise of three friends retiring together offers a fresh canvas for exploring themes of aging, friendship, and identity through an LGBTQ+ lens. The series is poised to offer both comedic and heartfelt moments, delivering a narrative that is as entertaining as it is meaningful.
With anticipation building, fans have taken to social media to express their excitement, eagerly awaiting the premiere. Comments on Bomer’s Instagram post included sentiments like, "Cannot wait," reflecting the shared enthusiasm for a show that promises to be both entertaining and impactful.
