HULU's FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL
- Nathalie Emmanuel has been tapped to replace Jessica Williams in the lead role of the upcoming anthology series created by Mindy Kaling and Matt Warburton.

- Emmanuel (Game of Thrones) will play Maya, the young communications director for a New York senatorial campaign, who receives a wedding invitation from her college schoolmate now living in London.
