WIGS Series JAN Debuts on Hulu TODAY

Beginning today, WIGS drama 'Jan' starring Caitlin Gerard (The Social Network), Virginia Madsen (Sideways, Hell on Wheels), Stephen Moyer (True Blood) and Laura Spencer (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries) will be available on Hulu in longer-form, TV-length episodes. The 15-episode series which originally premiered on YouTube, will air in three, 45-minute long episodes on the platform atwww.hulu.com/jan.

Written and directed by WIGS Co-Creator Jon Avnet, the series features photographer Jan (Gerard), who wins a national competition to assist acclaimed photographer Mel Karpova (Madsen). It's a dream first job, but a series of blunders make it feel like a nightmare. An unlikely upside is the attention of movie star Gerald Noth (Moyer) at a photo shoot. However, his constant knight-in-shining armor attempts to help Jan often cause her more trouble. Jan's journey becomes increasingly chaotic when her deeply troubled ex-boyfriend Robbie (played by Kyle Gallner) enters her life again and causes rifts between her and her concerned-but-frustrated roommate Vanessa (Spencer).

Madsen guest starred as Mel in WIGS series Susanna alongside Anna Paquin and Maggie Grace. Gerard and Spencer also starred in dating series Vanessa & Jan as the title characters.

Other WIGS series on Hulu include Blue, starring Julia Stiles, available at www.hulu.com/blue andLauren, starring Troian Bellisario and Jennifer Beals, viewable at www.hulu.com/lauren.
