Debuts May 17 on Hulu. George Clooney is no stranger to the black comedy genre, which could mean good things for his miniseries adaptation of Joseph Heller's classic, absurdist WWII novel—provided he can successfully navigate the material's page-to-screen transition (which partially flummoxed the normally unimpeachable Mike Nichols when he adapted the book into a 1970 feature film). But TV's episodic nature could be a better fit for the story than the big screen. Clooney directs, produces, and co-stars in the six-episode series, which also features Kyle Chandler, Hugh Laurie, Christopher Abbott, Giancarlo Giannini, and Tessa Ferrer.
