Production

Cheryl Strayed had discussed adapting her book of essays Tiny Beautiful Things with Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon while they worked together making the 2014 film Wild, adapted from Strayed's memoir.[4]

Liz Tigelaar serves as series creator and writer on the project which is being produced by ABC Signature and Hello Sunshine. Tigelaar is also executive producer, alongside Witherspoon, Dern, Lauren Neustadter, Stacey Silverman, Jayme Lemons, Cheryl Strayed, and Kathryn Hahn.[5] Tigelaar described the show as depicting an alternate version of Strayed "that hadn't hiked the Pacific Crest Trail" in Wild.[6]

Hahn was revealed to be playing the role of Clare when it was announced for Hulu in June 2022.[7] In August 2022, Sarah Pidgeon and Tanzyn Crawford were added to the cast.[8]

Release

The series was released on Hulu on April 7, 2023.[6] It also premiered on Disney+ in international territories.[9][10] In India, the series premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on April 9, 2023.

Reception

Critical response

Kathryn Hahn's performance garnered critical acclaim and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 85% approval rating with an average rating of 7.6/10, based on 40 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Tiny Beautiful Things is littered with cumbersome narrative choices, but Kathryn Hahn's soulful performance is one big plus that keeps this adaptation firmly compelling."[11] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 73 out of 100 based on 14 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[12]

Joel Keller of Decider asserted, "Kathryn Hahn makes Tiny Beautiful Things a compelling watch, mainly because she's so good at playing someone barely holding things together. But the rest of the series, especially the flashback sequences, give us a pretty full picture of why her character continues to spiral."[13] Taylor Gates of Collider, gave the series a grade of A−, praised the performance of Kathryn Hahn, and complimented the humor of the series, writing, "Tiny Beautiful Things uses specificity to offer commentary on universal experiences and has the unique ability to strip the most complex topics down into their simplest, most resonant parts. And so for that, I have to say: Thank you."[14]
