Daniel Fienberg: It’s hard to tell the story of Spring TV in 2023 without discussing HBO’s Succession and Barry, as well as Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso. Those three shows, two definitely finished and one seemingly coming to an end, represented four of the last six Emmy wins for outstanding drama and comedy series, as well as many nominations for acting, writing and directing. With their shocking deaths, wild deviations in tone and, in the case of Ted Lasso, expanded episode running times, they’ve dominated social media and water cooler conversations since March.
That’s why we’re not going to focus on them here. There’s more to TV than Barry, Succession and Ted Lasso — or at least HBO and Apple hope there is after the upcoming awards season concludes.
Even not counting the holy trinity of the spring, there were buzzy returning shows — Fxx’s Dave!

Hulu's newest psychological thriller series, "Saint X," which premiered on Hulu on April 26, draws inspiration from notable high-profile true crime cases in the media. The series, based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin, centers around the mysterious disappearance and subsequent death of a young woman during a vacation with family on the fictional Caribbean island Saint X. In the aftermath of her death, her family's quest for the truth is complicated by conflicting stories and murky timelines of her final moments alive. Still, her younger sister is persistent to find answers.
Given the feasible storyline of "Saint X," audiences anticipating the series have been curious if the series is based on a true story. While it isn't based on one true event, the show parallels the real-life case of missing 18-year-old student Natalee Holloway, who disappeared while vacationing in Aruba in 2005.

Alycia Debnam-Carey leaves zombies behind for her follow-up to Fear the Walking Dead.
On Saint X, Debnam-Carey takes on the role of Emily Thomas, an environmental documentary editor trying to unmask the truth about her sister Alison's (West Duchovny) death several years before.
The series is based on the novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin.
Debnam-Carey revealed exclusively to TV Fanatic that she chose not to read the book because she knew there would be distinct changes in the series.
"I didn't want to cross-pollinate what was happening on set versus in the book," the star shares.
"So I decided to just focus on the scripts and that character arc as it was being written for the show."
The star revealed that she waited to read the book until production was completed, and she hopes fans of the show will discover the book.

“Saint X,” Alexis Schaitkin’s acclaimed 2020 novel, has roiling depth beneath its placid surface, much like the pristine waters of the Caribbean island where it takes place. The body of a young American girl washes ashore in those tropical tides, and because her death incites the story, “Saint X” initially cuts the figure of a thriller. Yes, the book slowly unfurls the details behind her untimely demise. But the story isn’t really about what happened, it’s about the grief, recrimination and obsession that consumes the survivors over time. It’s a meditation on trauma, shot through with social commentary and disguised as a nondescript “imperiled woman” beach read.
Hulu’s series adaptation of “Saint X” hews closely to its source material, which winds up being as much a curse as a gift. The show also feints at a proper whodunnit, then builds to a nuanced, if anticlimactic conclusion,...

When a missing young woman turns up dead , only her enterprising sister can figure out the truth of what happened to her. You can watch Saint X with a 30-Day Free Trial of Hulu.

In a moment of emotional crisis, Alison (West Duchovny) blurts out the suspicion that’s been weighing on her to a stranger in the bathroom: “Am I generic?” she sobs. And though the stranger assures her that she’s not, Saint X takes a more nuanced view.
In premise, the series would seem to be a fairly standard take on the dead-white-girl narrative, with Alison’s eventual unexplained death serving as the mystery at the heart of the plot. But as with the 2020 Alexis Schaitkin novel it’s based on, it upends those tropes by offering a kaleidoscope of perspectives that reconsider what kind of stories we expect from tragedies like these, and who gets to be at their center — or it aims to, anyway. Unfortunately, an accumulation of minor fumbles leaves what could’ve been an incisive subversion of a familiar story feeling, instead, more like a replication of it.

Saint X, Hulu's adaptation of Alexis Schaitkin's novel, is loosely inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, but viewers shouldn't expect a ripped-from-the-headlines take on her story. The question of what happened to Alison Thomas (West Duchovny), a 19-year-old American who mysteriously died while vacationing with her family at a Caribbean resort, is the least interesting thing about Saint X, which engages with white privilege, classism, and other social ills across its eight episodes. The girl-gone-missing tale is simply writer/executive producer Leila Gerstein's gateway to these thorny topics, and while it doesn't always succeed, the show's willingness to take big swings makes it stand out in a sea of middling mysteries.

Even if you’ve signed up for every streaming service out there, it can feel monumental when a title moves from one to another. In April, Netflix mainstay “New Girl” moves to Hulu; still streaming, but not where fans are used to finding it — like rearranging the furniture in your apartment and waking up surprised every day that the couch is over there now.
But what’s important is that “New Girl” lives on, now joining Hulu’s own TV and movie library and originals from Freeform, FX, National Geographic, and more. Later in the month, Leila Gerstein’s “Saint X” — based on the novel by Alexis Schaitkin — premieres with three episodes, recounting the story of a young girl found dead during a family vacation and the sister piecing it together years later. Alycia Debnam-Carey, Josh Bonzie, West Duchovny, Jayden Elijah, Bre Francis, Kenlee Anaya Townsend, Betsy Brandt, and Michael Park star.

Exclusive: Filming on Hulu’s new series Saint X shut down Friday in the Dominican Republic after several crew members, including the key grip and members of the electric unit, walked off the set, Deadline has learned.
The U.S. crew members, said to span the show’s entire first-unit grip and electric teams, allege that they were not compensated correctly for overtime, which led to their walk-off. Saint X is produced by ABC Signature, part of Disney Television Studios.
A spokesperson for Disney TV Studios confirmed that a number of employees were let go after “walking off the job, forcing filming to stop,” adding that they will be replaced with other U.S. union members.
The set of the psychological drama has remained dark since (Saturday and Sunday were scheduled days off); it is unclear when filming will resume, though a studio insider indicated that the goal is to restart production this week.
