The First Photos From Hulu’s Looking For Alaska Series Are Finally Here

Diehard fans of John Green and his several coming-of-age novels have been waiting an especially long time for an adaptation of Looking For Alaska. And soon after roughly a decade of attempts, we're thrilled to mention that we're officially one step closer to actually getting one. Today (July 23), Hulu released photographs from the upcoming eight-episode limited series, which is just more of the confirmation we've been needing that, yes, it's actually happening.


The award-winning young adult novel follows Miles Halter (Charlie Plummer) on the search for his fantastic perhaps." To kick off his journey, Miles decides to leave his Florida high school and attend boarding school as an alternative. It's there that he meets and falls in love with Alaska Young (Kristine Froseth), a troubled teenage girl. However right after a horrible tragedy occurs, Miles is left to create sense of it all and learn to move on — a challenge that could be tough for anyone, let alone a teenager who's actively searching for a deeper perspective on life.


Now that Hulu's released photographs from the series, which will premiere on the streaming service this fall, fans of the bestselling author finally get to be able to see one of their all-time preference romance novels come to life. And thus for now, their reactions have been priceless. "Hulu's acing #LookingForAlaska," one individual tweeted. "If these photographs prove anything... It looks exactly how I thought whenever reading." Another fan simply couldn't contain their excitement, writing, "AHHHHH Looking for Alaska ... I've waited so long for this." Same, girl. Same.


For those of you who are prepared to count down the days up until the series hits Hulu, you have to know that Looking For Alaska will premiere on the streaming service on Friday, October 18. Up until then, though, we'll just be staring at these astonishing pictures because, like you, they're pretty much giving us life.
