Hilary Duff is returning to Hulu for a new show!
On Thursday (August 28), it was announced that the 37-year-old Lizzie McGuire actress will be starring in the new series Pretty Ugly, which is set in the world of child pageants. Kirker Butler is writing the series based on his 2015 novel of the same name.
Here’s the synopsis via Deadline: “Miranda Miller’s (Duff) mission in life is to make her ten-year-old daughter Bailey the most successful child pageant contestant in the United States. A former teenage pageant queen herself, Miranda dreams of endorsement deals, beauty brands, maybe even a TV show. Bailey, however, wants none of it. She’s been doing pageants since she was three months old and is burned out.”

While Miranda is busy building her empire, her husband Ray, a nurse with a hobby of taking random pills, has knocked up the eighteen-year-old granddaughter of one of his hospice patients; and her mother Joan, a widowed shut-in, is plotting a murder with Jesus. It’s all pretty ugly.”
Hilary previously starred on Hulu in the How I Met Your Mother spinoff series How I Met Your Father, which ran for two seasons from 2022 until 2023 before it was canceled.
