The initial preview for the Hulu series led by Kathryn Hahn depicts a mother struggling with divorce, grief, and parenting her teenage daughter, leading her to the brink of a personal breakdown.
As she confronts the stress of her marital separation and her daughter’s behavior that she disapproves of, Clare gradually succumbs to the challenges of adulthood. Meanwhile, flashbacks portray her early twenties, a time when she had high hopes for her future.
The show is an adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s best-selling book “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar.” The process of bringing the book to television started when Reese, Laura, and I formed a bond while making the film “Wild.”
In a conversation with PEOPLE, Strayed shares what it’s like to work with Hahn.
“Kathryn Hahn has this extraordinary way of being funny and deep and vulnerable and smart and exceptional and also like all of us in her every move,” Strayed says of Hahn. “I feel so honored she said yes to this role. She’s sheer brilliance.”
