FX has ordered “Seven Sisters” to series for Hulu, with Elizabeth Olsen set to lead a family drama that will stream in the U.S. on Hulu and roll out internationally on Disney+. Cristin Milioti and J. Smith-Cameron also star, anchoring an ensemble that FX is positioning as a character-driven piece built around one destabilizing mystery.
The premise centers on a large, close family whose relationships start to fracture after one sister begins communicating with a voice no one else can hear. That “voice” becomes the catalyst for buried secrets to surface, pushing siblings and parents into conflicts they can’t ignore. FX’s published logline frames the story as grounded in adult-sibling dynamics, then tilting into something stranger once the family starts asking what’s real and what isn’t.
Will Arbery wrote the pilot and serves as an executive producer, joined by Garrett Basch and Sean Durkin, who directed the pilot and also executive produces. The series continues Olsen’s working relationship with Durkin, who directed her film debut, “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” The show is produced by FX Productions.
Beyond Olsen, Milioti and Smith-Cameron, the cast includes Anthony Edwards, Meredith Hagner, Odessa Young, Zoë Winters, Bridget Brown, Carolyn Kettig, Philip Ettinger and Ryan Eggold. FX Entertainment president Gina Balian said the network had been searching for a family drama rooted in recognizable sibling-and-parent tensions, then sharpened by a twist, and credited the cast with bringing those secrets to the screen in a way that keeps viewers guessing. FX has not announced a premiere date.
