Quote

Mid-Century Modern — is loosely inspired by The Golden Girls, and follows three best friends — gay gentlemen of a certain age — who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it would be better if you got your neck done.

 

Additional Info:

Quote

Mid-Century Modern — a multi-camera comedy — hails from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, and executive producer Ryan Murphy.

Sitcom legend James Burrows directed the pilot and serves as an executive producer, alongside Mutchnick, Kohan, Burrows, Lane, Bomer and Murphy.

The show stars Nathan Lane as Bunny Schneiderman, Matt Bomer as Jerry Frank, Nathan Lee Graham as Arthur Broussard and Lavin as Sybil Schneiderman, Bunny’s mother. 

Guest stars include Pamela Adlon, Vanessa Bayer, Kimberly Coles, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Judd Hirsch, Richard Kind, Stephanie Koenig, Billie Lourd, Esther Moon Wu, Jaime Moyer, Cheri Oteri, Rhea Perlman, Zane Phillips and more.

Lavin died unexpectedly on Dec. 29, due to complications from recently discovered lung cancer, midway through production on Season 1. The Emmy-nominated actress and two-time Golden Globe winner was 87.

One month later, Mutchnick revealed that art would, sadly, imitate life, with Lavin’s passing being written into the show.

 

Nathan Lane is Bunny Schneiderman

Quote

A successful businessman with one foot in retirement, Bunny is forever in search of love, but he first has to be convinced he’s worthy of it.

 

Linda Lavin is Sybil Schneiderman

Quote

Like her son, Sybil’s strengths are her weaknesses — wise, caring and iconoclastic — which sometimes means she’s critical, smothering and amoral.

 

Matt Bomer is Jerry Frank

Quote

Jerry left the Mormon Church and his marriage in his early 20s after his wife informed him and the rest of the congregation that he was a homosexual. Now a latter-day saint in the literal sense of the term, Jerry is pure of heart. He is also hard of body and soft of head.

 

Nathan Lee Graham is Arthur

Quote

Arthur is a dignified, elegant, fashion industry veteran who believes that life will never quite match the grace and panache that would exist if only he were in charge.
