Shrill Shows Aidy Bryant Finding Her Way In A Fat-Phobic World

Saturday Night Live's Aidy Bryant is finally starring in her own TV series, and we couldn't be more grateful.


We got our first look at the upcoming Hulu original series Shrill, based on the book Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West, and it also looks exactly like the role we've been waiting for Bryant to fully own for a while.


In the initial moments of the trailer, Bryant, as Annie, is at the pharmacy grabbing a Diet Coke, gum, lotion, shoelaces, and, oh yeah, the morning soon after pill. As soon as the pharmacist shouts to a worker in the back to be able to see if it's in stock, thus shares her corporation with anyone with ears, Annie rethinks her decision. Yeah, we felt that.


Annie is shown really going through it in this trailer. For example: She's having trouble being heard at work also, though, even once she tries to lift her voice and be heard. "I know I'm just an assistant calendar editor, yet I would really love to write more, and—" Annie starts, before she's interrupted and dismissed.


And then there's the fact that her man asks her to leave by means of the backdoor once his roommates arrive. Um, what?


Ultimately, Annie travels down a new path for herself, one where she realizes she's just as good as anyone else, so why not act like it?


Shrill is set to premiere throughout 2019's South by Southwest Film Festival while in the "Episodic Premieres" screenings set. Soon after that, you could catch it on Hulu beginning March 15.
