"She Taught Love" is Hulu's newest original romantic drama, which premiered on September 27 on Hulu and also in select theaters. It stars Darrell Britt-Gibson (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Frank Cooper and Arsema Thomas (Queen Charlotte) as Mali Waters showcasing the power of Black love.
Produced by Andscape and Marginal Mediaworks with a screenplay by Darrell Britt-Gibson, the film was directed by Nate Edwards and produced by Milan Chakraborty, Peter Van Auker, Sanjay M Sharma, and Hadley Klein. Britt-Gibson and Jason Aidoo Klein are executive producers. The film also stars Taissa Farmiga, Alexander Hodge, D'Arcy Carden, Kevin Carroll, Angela Elayne Gibbs, Edwin Lee Gibson, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.
Frank Cooper has been coasting through life, distracting himself with women, booze, and the occasional illegal substance. An actor who's just finished an arc on a hit cable show, he now waits for the next completely unfulfilling offer that Hollywood has for young Black actors, either a gang member or drug dealer. He's stuck.
Mali Waters, on the other hand, is a successful, career-driven sports agent destined to take over the world. With ambition for days, she is the definition of a woman living for the future. They are polar opposites whose worlds change in an instant when they enter each other's orbit. Despite their better instincts, the two are inescapably drawn to one another. But life has a way of making its own rules, and soon Mali is forced to face an inevitable truth.

Drawn together at the worst possible moment, as Mali faces her mortality, they must learn to love and live in the moment. Together, the two must learn to rely on each other, choosing to love and live for the moment in an age of endless divisions and distractions.
"She Taught to Love" is a poignant exploration of love and romance, beautifully written and perfectly cast. It encourages embracing the present, following one's desires, and finding strength in facing life's challenges. With a touch of serendipity, the film showcases the transformative power of love, even in the most impossible situations. Its charming, funny, and realistic performances make it a must-see movie.
