Mark Duplass Joins Hulu’s ‘Victoria’, Turning San Francisco’s Elite Into a Sweat‑Soaked Soap Opera

Mark Duplass Joins Hulu’s ‘Victoria’, Turning San Francisco’s Elite Into a Sweat‑Soaked Soap Opera

Mark Duplass is officially on board with Hulu’s limited‑series “Victoria,” a glossy, San Francisco‑set erotic thriller that promises to peel back the polished veneer of the city’s elite and replace it with a wet‑kissed, power‑play parade.

The series, created by Christy Hall, follows a con woman who slides into the exclusive world of Bay Area high‑rollers, and Duplass is the newest addition to a cast already boasting Li Jun Li and Diane Lane.

Duplass, best known for his role on “The Morning Show,” is apparently swapping newsroom drama for a plot where the stakes are measured in silk sheets rather than newsroom ratings.

Hulu’s latest casting move feels like a recipe: take a recognizable face, sprinkle in a dash of erotic intrigue, and serve it up as “high‑brow entertainment” for binge‑watchers who like their scandals with a side of tech‑bro swagger.

The limited‑series label guarantees that viewers won’t have to endure a multi‑season saga of endless back‑stabbing—just a concise, sweat‑dripping ride through the city’s most decadent cocktail parties.

San Francisco’s elite will find themselves in a narrative where every power move is accompanied by a sigh and a strategically placed silk robe.
