Hulu’s ‘Up Here’ hits a high note with stars Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdez.
What do you get when you combine a rom-com and a musical then splash it with some 90s nostalgia? You get “Up Here,” Hulu’s new series premiering this week.
Mae Whitman stars as Lindsay, who moves from her small town to New York City to follow her dreams of becoming a writer. She meets businessman Miguel, played by Carlos Valdes and the series follows their burgeoning relationship. All the while, both have a chorus of voices inside their heads filling them with negative thoughts and doubts.
Whitman told On The Red Carpet, “It feels like an entirely new genre, really. It’s like a full original musical in a mini-series.” She also said it felt like the manifestation of all her dream projects.
Valdes added, “It’s so very clearly influenced by other things and it really honors so many of those other things, but as a whole it really is like a strange, new different kind of beast that’s also very familiar and fun.
