The story of Life & Beth revolves around Beth, who is seemingly living a perfect life working as a wine distributor in Manhattan and who's in a long-term relationship with a successful guy. However, her life is changed forever when a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become as she sets out on a journey towards building a bigger, bolder, and more authentic life.
Schumer has made quite the name for herself over the past decade, having hosted the popular sketch comedy series Inside Amy Schumer and also earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy for 2015's Trainwreck. Life & Beth will mark her first acting role since 2021's psychological drama The Humans, and her first onscreen collaboration with Michael Cera. As for Cera, it's unclear as to how substantial of a role his character will play in the series but audiences can tune in to find out when Life & Beth debuts next month on Hulu.
