During Hulu’s New Fronts presentation on Monday, the streamer announced that Dear White People creator Justin Simien‘s horror satire, Bad Hair, will premiere in October as a part of the network’s Halloween-themed original content, branded as Huluween. Hulu did not offer an exact release date within the month of October for the film’s release.
The film had its world premiere this past January at the Sundance Film Festival.
In this horror satire set in 1989, an ambitious young woman gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career may come at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a mind of its own.
Written and directed by Simien, the film stars Elle Lorraine, Vanessa L. Williams, Jay Pharoah, Lena Waithe, Chanté Adams, Blair Underwood, Laverne Cox, James Van Der Beek, Kelly Rowland and more.
Picked up by Hulu for nearly $8 million after its Sundance screening, the film was produced by Julia Lebedev, Angel Lopez, Eddie Vaisman, and Simien.
