gentrifying neighborhoods of old Boston. It\u00a0follows Chickie (Pompeo) and Doreen, two estranged half-sisters who are both struggling to get by when their wise guy dad unexpectedly kicks the bucket. Their only inheritance is a legacy of two-bit crime that inspires them to run increasingly audacious frauds. As their con grows, so does their odd-couple bond, as they each start to fill the father-shaped hole in the other\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<em>Chicks<\/em>\u00a0is based on an original idea from Robbins that she developed specifically for Pompeo, inspired by conversations the two had on set of their first project together, the Hulu limited series\u00a0<em>Good American Family<\/em>, which premiered last March, amassing 6.3 million views in its first six days on the platform. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe pilot, which is eying a September start of production in New York, is one of several to emerge recently from Hulu, which a little over a year and a half ago reverted to a more traditional pilot model in lieu of straight-to-series orders that had became prelevant at the height of the streaming wars. <em>Chicks <\/em>joins recent Hulu pilot orders which include the reality TV-themed comedy\u00a0<em>Lex<\/em>, the drama\u00a0<em>Durango<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0<em>Y: The Last Man<\/em>\u2019s Eliza Clark as well as a drama adaptation of the graphic novel\u00a0<em>Southern Bastards<\/em>,\u00a0from Jason Aaron and Jason Latour, and Ryan Coogler\u2019s\u00a0<em>X-Files<\/em>\u00a0reboot, both with Onyx.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tPompeo has long been part of the Disney family.
