Onyx Collective Orders Comedy Series 'How To Die Alone' From Natasha Rothwell

-- Rothwell to Write, Star and Co-Showrun the ABC Signature Series With Vera Santamaria --

The eight-episode, half-hour comedy is a Hulu Original and comes from ABC Signature and Onyx Collective.

Natasha Rothwell ("The White Lotus," "Insecure") to star, write and co-showrun via her overall deal with ABC Signature and Onyx Collective under the banner of her company, Big Hattie Productions.

Natasha Rothwell and Vera Santamaria ("PEN15") serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.

Desiree Akhavan ("The Bisexual") serves as executive producer.

"How to Die Alone" follows Melissa (Rothwell), a fat, Black neurotic who's never been in love. After a comical brush with death, she refuses to settle for anything less than the life she wants, catapulting her on a journey to becoming "100% that bitch" in real life by any means necessary.

Natasha Rothwell was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for Mike White's critically acclaimed series "White Lotus," which also won the 2022 Primetime Emmy(R) Award for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. She can be seen in Warner Bros.' "Wonka" and heard in Disney's upcoming animated feature "Wish." She is best known for her work as a series regular, writer and producer on HBO's "Insecure," for which she won a Peabody Award and the 2022 NAACP Image Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. Rothwell was a 2021 Sundance Screenwriters Lab Fellow and has previously written for "Saturday Night Live" and penned screenplays for Netflix, Paramount and HBO Max. In 2020, she founded Big Hattie Productions and is currently creating under that banner for ABC Signature and Onyx Collective. Additional acting credits include "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Bojack Horseman," "Bob's Burgers," "American Dad," "The Simpsons," "Love, Simon" "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Wonder Woman 1984."

Natasha Rothwell is represented by Edna Cowan Management, CAA, Sechel, and her lawyers are Jackoway Austen Tyerman Wertheimer Mandelbaum Morris Bernstein Trattner & Klein.

Vera Santamaria is represented by CAA, Glenn Cockburn and Conrad Sun with Meridian Artists, and Morris Yorn.
