'They can't outrun their pasts forever', Emma Roberts and Tom Ellis team up for Oppenheimer's "Second Wife" on Hulu

"They can't outrun their pasts forever," is a phrase that might aptly describe the riveting new Hulu series "Second Wife." It's a collaboration between the ubiquitous Meaghan Oppenheimer, the talented Emma Roberts, and the ever-charming Tom Ellis, who is also Oppenheimer's spouse.

A Collaboration Made in Heaven - or London?

Oppenheimer, the brilliant creator of Hulu's "Tell Me Lies," has teamed up once again with Roberts for this new series, though it's the first project for her and Ellis as a married couple as reported by Variety.

The plot revolves around Sasha (Roberts), a woman "fresh from a terrible breakup" who escapes New York to begin anew in London. There, she meets and falls in love with a recently divorced father named Jacob (Ellis). Their impromptu decision to marry soon reveals that they have secrets they cannot escape.

The Many Talents of Oppenheimer, Roberts, and Ellis

The multifaceted Oppenheimer has credits that include writing for "Fear the Walking Dead" and "Queen America." She also masterminds "Second Wife" and serves as an executive producer alongside Ellis and Roberts.

Emma Roberts, whose resume sparkles with roles in "Unfabulous," "American Horror Story," and "Scream Queens," is also set to appear in the upcoming Marvel film "Madame Webb." Roberts brings her unique charm and dynamism to the character of Sasha.

Tom Ellis, best known for his title role in "Lucifer," adds his magnetic charisma to the role of Jacob. With other credits like BBC One's "Miranda" and BBC Three's "The Fades," Ellis's acting chops will undoubtedly add zest to this dark comedy series.

The series showcases the complex dynamics of modern relationships, wrapped up with wit, surprise, and a dose of realism. The sizzling chemistry between Roberts and Ellis, coupled with Oppenheimer's distinctive storytelling, promises to make "Second Wife" a standout addition to Hulu's lineup.

From love at first sight to a journey into unknown territories of the heart, "Second Wife" explores the joys, trials, and tribulations of love in the age of uncertainty. As our characters learn, perhaps the hard way, that love can be as unpredictable as life itself, viewers will be glued to their screens, eager for the next twist in this thrilling love story.

"Second Wife" isn't just another rom-com; it's a journey into the complexities of love and relationships through the witty and insightful lens of Oppenheimer.
