Jesse Eisenberg and Lizzy Caplan's Fleishman Is in Trouble Sets Hulu Premiere Date

Jesse Eisenberg will officially be "In Trouble" in November.

FX's limited series "Fleishman Is In Trouble," starring Eisenberg in the lead role, premieres November 17 on Hulu. New episodes of the eight-episode series will be released every Thursday.

Based on the best-selling novel by journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner, "Fleishman's in Trouble" centers on recently separated 40-something Toby Fleishman (Eisenberg) who dives into the new world of app-based dating with the kind of success he never dated in his youth, before getting married at the end of medical school. But just as his first summer of sexual freedom begins, his ex-wife, Rachel (Claire Danes), disappears, leaving him with the kids and no indication of where she is or if she plans to return.

As he balances parenthood, the return of old friends (Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody), a long-awaited hospital promotion, and all the eligible women Manhattan has to offer, he realizes that 'He'll never be able to understand what happened to Rachel until he can take a more honest look at what happened to their marriage in the first place.
