Hulu is following Netflix’s lead again, and has announced that they will begin creating their own original content. You might remember that Netflix outbid all the major television networks for the rights to House of Cards , which will star Kevin Spacey and represent the company’s first foray into content creation. And now Hulu has made a similar move into content creation by hiring documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock to create an original series called “A Day in the Life.” Hulu Original Content – A Day In The Life “A Day in the Life,” not to be confused with the ‘YouTube movie,’ Life in a Day, is a six part documentary series chronicling 24-hour periods in the lives of “fascinating people.” And unlike Netflix’s original series, which is still a long way off from airing, A Day in the Life will begin airing in two weeks–August 17th, in fact
