Hulu eyes Wilmington for ‘Reprisal’ pilot shoot

WILMINGTON, NC (StarNews) — Hulu is revving up the engine on a new project in the Port City.

The streaming giant is scouting the area to film a pilot called “Reprisal,” according to sources within the industry and emails among Wilmington officials.

The pilot, local rumblings of which began in June, was officially announced by the network in July. It’s described as a “hyper-kinetic revenge tale following a relentless femme fatale who, after being left for dead, leads a vengeful campaign against a bombastic gang of gearheads.”

The rough-and-tumble project from A&E Studios, which also shot History channel’s “Six” in Wilmington has a strong creative team. It hails from Warren Littlefield, an executive producer of Hulu’s Emmy-winning crown jewel “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
