Kathryn Hahn is captivating, charming, and hilarious in pretty much every role. And now she’s exploring some brand new territory in the upcoming HBO series Mrs. Fletcher. Hahn plays a single mother who finds herself alone after raising her son and sending him off to college. They are having a parallel coming of age experience where they are both exploring what it means to be independent and sexually liberated. Here’s the full synopsis for the series:
As the series begins, Eve Fletcher (Kathryn Hahn), a mid-40s single mom who works as the executive director of a senior center, drops her only child off at college and returns home to a very empty house. Meanwhile, Eve’s son Brendan (Jackson White), a popular (though sometimes clueless) jock, finds college is a little more complicated than he expected and struggles to make connections with his more socially and politically aware fellow students. As mother and son find themselves alone for the first time, this sharp, provocative series navigates themes of parenthood, sexuality, love, and identity in a cultural moment when attitudes about gender and sex are evolving rapidly.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Mrs. Fletcher on HBO on Sunday, October 27th.
