What’s Happening:

  • As first reported by Deadline, Lisa Ann Walter has signed a deal with Hulu to release a comedy special. Though Walter is a longtime standup comedian, with plenty of touring experience, this will be her first-ever special.
  • The special was already recorded at the Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia, PA and will be available sometime in 2026 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
  • Walter directed the special herself, and the producers for it include another Abbott Elementary actor, Sheryl Lee Ralph, alongside Michelle Caputo and Shannon Hartman.
  • Though the success of Abbott Elementary has elevated Walter to greater stardom, she has extensive experience in the industry as both an actor and a writer, appearing in projects like The Parent Trap and Bruce Almighty and starring in series she co-created, including My Wildest Dreams and Life’s Work. (personally speaking, besides The Parent Trap, I mostly identified the very funny Walter with Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds prior to the debut of Abbott).
