It is powerful to say, nevertheless it’s price noting that Damaged Lizard made “Quasi” for Hulu final yr, so there’s a relationship with Disney-owned companies. Would possibly this be match for a Hulu unique? In a 2022 interview with Collider, Chandrasekhar defined the troupe’s course of, revealing that they have an inclination to do a variety of drafts of the script earlier than truly making the film:
