He is truly a one-of-a-kind partner and storyteller and we’re thrilled to continue our relationship with him to bring authentic, relevant and riveting stories to Hulu.”
MGM president of television production and development Steve Stark added: “Bruce and I have worked together for many years and it is such a privilege for me and our team to be able to continue to work with him and Hulu.
