Romeo & Juliet in America’s divided politics.
Hulu pilot Young Americans filming in Toronto casts Billie Boulet, Sam Rechner, Mia Isaac, Oscar Winter Iannone, Lauren Mei as teens attending an elite private school in Washington, D.C.
In Young Americans, as the children of the nation’s elite battle it out at Capitol Crest Academy in Washington D.C., their teenage dramas begin to mirror the larger political games of their parents.
Amidst the secrets, scandals, and deadly ambitions, a forbidden romance between two students from opposing political families threatens to escalate tensions to a breaking poin.
