Elizabeth Olsen's "Seven Sisters" Gets Major Update

FX has ordered "Seven Sisters", the drama pilot with a stacked cast led by Elizabeth Olsen, to series on Hulu.

The project, which hails from writer Will Arbery, director Sean Durkin and producer Garrett Basch, also stars Cristin Milioti, J. Smith-Cameron, Anthony Edwards, Meredith Hagner, Odessa Young, Zoë Winters, Bridget Brown, Carolyn Kettig, Philip Ettinger, and Ryan Eggold.

"Seven Sisters", from FX Productions, follows a large, tight-knit family that begins to unravel when one sister, Adrienne (Olsen), starts communicating with a voice no one else can hear, forcing them to confront long-buried secrets.

Olsen, newly minted Emmy winner Milioti, Hagner, Young, Winters, Brown, and Kettig play the titular sisters; Ettinger plays their brother; Edwards and Smith-Cameron portray the octet’s parents; Eggold plays Adrienne’s husband.

"Seven Sisters" is executive produced by Arbery, who penned the pilot; Sean Durkin, who helmed it; and Basch. 

The pilot reunited Olsen and Durkin a decade and a half after the award-winning 2011 movie "Martha Marcy May Marlene," written and directed by Durkin in his feature directorial debut, which starred Olsen in her feature debut.

“We’ve been on the lookout for a compelling family drama, and when Will Arbery and Garrett Basch brought us Seven Sisters, we found one that felt uniquely FX,” said Gina Balian, President, FX Entertainment. “It lives in the deep relatable dynamics of adult siblings and their parents but does so in a way that’s bold and original with an unexpected twist. This group of incredibly gifted actors brings this family’s secrets to life in a way that will draw audiences in and keep them guessing until the very end.”

"Seven Sisters" was one of two drama pilots greenlighted by FX in March. The other, a "Snowfall" spinoff starring the original series’ Gail Bean and Isaiah John, was picked up to series last month.
