DIFFICULT PEOPLE is an American dark comedy streaming television series created by Julie Klausner. The series premiered on Hulu on August 5, 2015, and the second season premiered on July 12, 2016. DIFFICULT PEOPLE consists of 28 episodes of 30 minutes. 

STORY: Julie Kessler (Julie Klausner) alongside Billy Epstein (Billy Eichner) are as two struggling and jaded comedians living in New York City; the duo seemingly hate everyone but each other.  

GAY COUPLE STORYLINE: Billy Epstein (Billy Eichner) is Julie's best friend and fellowaspiring comedian. Todd (John Cho) is Billy's boyfriend.  Todd is a successful advertising executive who uses Billy's acting head shot in some unflattering public-service ads. (Think STD and body image campaigns.) When Billy objects, it starts a war of words and retaliation — and a spark of romance.

BILLY EICHNER (2015-2017) September 18, 1978, New York City, NY, USA 






JOHN CHO (2017) June 16, 1972, Seoul, South Korea 

SPECIAL: It's ground-breaking to cast an Asian male as a gay love interest, which is exactly what “Difficult People” does, bringing on the magnificent John Cho as Billy's I'm-just-as-terrible-as-you-are perfect match. Many people equate the show's caustic sarcasm and the selfishness of its characters with a bitter and cynical worldview. However, although Billy and Julie's view of the world is strained, petty, and myopic, it also has an enormous amount of heart. Despite their disregard for others, their obsessive need for attention, and the way in which they use everything as a disastrous attempt to further their careers, the characters do, in fact, stand for something.

AWARDS: ‘DIFFICULT PEOPLE’ 2 nominations.
