The Valet Starring Samara Weaving Set for Spring at Hulu
The valet, a remake of the 2006 French comedy of the same name, will be released in the spring of 2022, Hulu has announced. With Samara weaving as a movie star named Olivia and Max Greenfield as Olivia’s married lover, Vincent, The valet is described as a “fish out of water romantic comedy”.
Eugene Derbez stars as the titular “hardworking” valet Antonio, who inadvertently appears in a paparazzi photo of Olivia and Vincent.

The ruse puts Antonio in the spotlight and, like a romantic comedy, allows “two worlds and cultures to collide” as Olivia and Antonio come to understand each other better.
