Matt Bomer Cast in Gay ‘Golden Girls’ Series

Matt Bomer is set to channel the lovable naivete of Betty White in Hulu’s upcoming series, Mid-Century Modern, described as the gay counterpart to the beloved The Golden Girls.

This vibrant new show pairs the wit of Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan with the visionary flair of producer Ryan Murphy, promising a mix of humor and heartfelt moments.

Stellar Cast and Creative Minds

Nathan Lane joins Bomer as the pragmatic Bunny Schneiderman, with Linda Lavin as his sharp-tongued mother, Sybil. Set in sunny Palm Springs, the series follows three aging friends choosing to spend their golden years together after a pivotal twist of fate. They’re accompanied by a quirky ensemble, including a Gen Z housekeeper who prefers to work au naturel.

Meet Bomer’s New Character

Bomer’s character, Jerry Frank, is described as a “latter-day saint in the literal sense of the term.” He is pure of heart but not the sharpest tool in the shed. Having left his conservative roots and an unaccepting spouse behind, Jerry seeks to find himself in this new chapter.

Meanwhile, Nathan Lane’s Bunny, a businessman on the brink of retirement, navigates the complexities of love and self-worth.

The pilot episode will be helmed by legendary director James Burrows, adding a touch of sitcom royalty to the mix. Burrows will also serve as an executive producer alongside the show’s stars and creators.

Why Watch Mid-Century Modern?

With a cast led by industry veterans like Bomer, known for his roles in White Collar and The Normal Heart, and Lane, a triple Tony winner celebrated for his stage and screen presence, Mid-Century Modern is gearing up to be a must-watch. This series promises laughs and a reflective look at friendship and life’s second acts.
