Release date:
Arriving this fall, all eight episodes of the 'Looking for Alaska' miniseries will be premiering on October 18, only on Hulu.
Plot:
Based on the book of the same name by Green, the story chronicles Miles who goes to a new boarding school "to seek a greater perhaps." There he meets and falls in love with the straight-out-of-every-teen's-fantasy, Alaska, who loves books, cigarettes, and white lilies. Miles meets Alaska through his roommate, the 'Colonel', and thus ensues their weekly shenanigans involving alcohol and cigarettes at the boarding school. Alaska loves pranks and her very hot boyfriend, Jake, so things don't really go well for the hopelessly in love Miles aka 'Pudge'. With quite the devastating plot twist in the middle of the story, Miles's love for Alaska becomes an exploration of figuring out who she really is behind that gorgeous facade of all things perfect.
