Nathan Lane says his Hulu comedy ‘Mid-Century Modern’ is more than “the gay Golden Girls”

Nathan Lane joined Deadline on The Actor’s Side to discuss his role in the new Hulu series ‘Mid-Century Modern’, created by the iconic Ryan Murphy. Lane discusses the groundbreaking nature of the show, which follows a group of older gay men navigating friendship, love, and aging in a world that often overlooks their stories.

He shares what drew him to the project, the joy of portraying characters who are complex, funny, and fully realized, and how ‘Mid-Century Modern’ breaks new ground in LGBTQ+ representation on television. Lane also speaks candidly about the humor, heart, and humanity behind the show—and how it pays homage to classics like ‘The Golden Girls.’
