FX Greenlights Hulu Drama Seven Sisters Led by Beloved Marvel Star
Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen is heading back to TV as FX orders Seven Sisters to series at Hulu nine months after its pilot, with a script by Will Arbery and direction from Sean Durkin, reuniting Olsen and Durkin after her debut film.
FX just pulled the trigger on Seven Sisters, the Elizabeth Olsen drama it piloted earlier this year. It is headed to Hulu in the US (Disney+ internationally), and the setup sounds like a family saga with a creepy whisper running through it.
What got ordered, and where it lands
Seven Sisters, produced by FX Productions, has a full series order at Hulu nine months after FX first greenlit the pilot in March 2025. US streaming is on Hulu; everywhere else, Disney+ will carry it.
Who is making it
The series comes from writer Will Arbery and director Sean Durkin, with Garrett Basch producing. All three are executive producers. Arbery wrote the pilot, Durkin directed it, and Durkin has history with Olsen: he directed her breakout, Martha Marcy May Marlene, back in 2011.
The hook
It follows a big, close-knit family that gets knocked off its axis when one of the sisters, Adrienne (Olsen), starts hearing a voice that no one else can. That forces old secrets to surface. So yes, there is a supernatural-leaning twist, but the core is family drama.
Cast and who plays who
- Elizabeth Olsen as Adrienne, the sister hearing the voice
- Cristin Milioti (fresh off a Primetime Emmy win earlier this year for The Penguin) as one of Adrienne's sisters
- J. Smith-Cameron (Murdaugh: Death in the Family) as one of the parents
- Odessa Young, Meredith Hagner, Zoe Winters, Bridget Brown, and Carolyn Kettig as the other sisters
- Philip Ettinger as the brother
- Ryan Eggold as Adrienne's husband
- Anthony Edwards as the other parent
The FX angle
This marks producer Garrett Basch's fifth series at FX under his company Dive's first-look deal. His FX track record includes Devs, Reservation Dogs, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Lowdown, and he is also executive producing FX's comedy pilot Very Young Frankenstein. If you like seeing how these pipeline deals shape what gets made and where, this is one of those cases where FX develops and produces, but Hulu (and Disney+ overseas) does the streaming.
Timing
No release date or window yet, just the series order. Given the March 2025 pilot and this pickup coming nine months later, it is officially out of the test phase and into the real thing. More when we hear about production start and premiere plans.
