Connie Britton is pretending to be a teen's mom in unsettling Phony trailer
Fellow The White Lotus alum Sam Nivola also stars in the coming-of-age mystery series.
Connie Britton and Sam Nivola star in Hulu's new unsettling series Phony, a coming-of-age mystery. The show follows a teenage Sonny, played by Nivola, who wakes up in the hospital after a car crash to find his mom, Ellen, played by Britton, replaced by an impostor. The trailer showcases the duo laughing together, but the series takes a darker turn when Sonny wakes up in the hospital and realizes he may have been fooled by an imposter.
Some viewers compare Sonny's situation to a conspiracy theory about Avril Lavigne being replaced by a lookalike, while others believe Sonny is struggling with the trauma of his near-death experience. The series premieres on October 20 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
