Hulu is started to develop a new comedy series,
Unhinged, from writing and performing partners, Casey Wilson and June Diane Raphael, according to

Unhinged is a single camera half-hour comedy whose lead character is April Hansen, a middle-aged woman with a rage problem. The project is currently in development with the possibility of Wilson (
