Annie Easton Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Shrill this season closed out the story of Annie Easton celebrating her imperfect road to self-acceptance and teasing new paths for the ambitious journalist and her loved ones. The Hulu original comedy’s series finale is the subject of Deadline’s latest It Starts on the Page, which spotlights award-season scripts.

At a time when so much TV is centered on female experiences of trauma, Season 3 of “Shrill” is a balm that insists on exploring female pleasure instead of pain. Throughout the series, we watch as central protagonist Annie Easton (Aidy Bryant) overcomes self-doubts in order to find greater happiness, and part of the wonder of the series is in its details: the fabulously feminine fashion, the thrill of sexual and platonic touch, the warmth of sharing a good meal with a close friend.

Annie Easton’s journey comes to a close Hulu’s Shrill ends in May with its third and final season. But as bittersweet as ending the series about self-discovery may be, star and executive producer Aidy Bryant said her character’s journey culminates in a satisfying coda.
