FX on Hulu goes back to school with the first trailer for A Teacher

FX on Hulu has just released the first trailer for A Teacher, Hannah Fidell’s small-screen adaptation of her 2013 film of the same name—who better to figure out how to turn a well-received indie praised for its brevity (and unvarnished treatment of an inequitable relationship between a teacher and a student) into an entire season of television? At least, that’s been one of the questions on our minds since learning of the series order. This preview for the drama, which stars Kate Mara and Nick Robinson, opens with the affair already in full swing, as Eric (Robinson) films Claire (Mara) during some getaway. “Delete that video,” Claire tells him, which, if you didn’t already know that this show is about a high school teacher who takes advantage of a high school senior, is the first hint that this relationship isn’t as straightforward as it appears to be.
