SEASON THREE OF WIGS SERIES "BLUE" AVAILABLE ON HULU AND HULU PLUS BEGINNING FRIDAY, MARCH 28

Julia Stiles Returns as Title Character; Eric Stoltz Joins as New Love Interest and Stiles' Real-Life Sister, Jane O'Hara, Plays Her Sister in the Series

Breaking new ground with award-winning scripted dramas for the digital age, WIGS announced today that Season Three of BLUE, starring Julia Stiles ("The Bourne Ultimatum") as the title character, will be available in four longer-form episodes, each of which runs between 40-60 minutes, on Hulu (www.hulu.com/blue) and the Hulu Plus subscription service, beginning Friday morning March 28. Also available on Hulu and Hulu Plus that day will be a new longer-form episode of WIGS series PALOMA, written and directed by Stiles and starring Grace Gummer ("Margin Call").

BLUE has more than 43 million views on multiple platforms, making it one of the most popular digital scripted series. The award-winning series stars Stiles as a single mother trying to protect her son from the consequences of her secret career as an escort, and is written and directed by WIGS co-creator Rodrigo Garcia ("Albert Nobbs," "In Treatment"). Karen Graci is co-writer on the series. BLUE is executive-produced by Jon Avnet ("Black Swan," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Risky Business"), Garcia and Jake Avnet.

In these new episodes, BLUE (Stiles) finds herself getting a little too close to a client (guest star Eric Stoltz, "Mask," "Fort McCoy"). Also, Blue's son, JOSH (Uriah Shelton, "The Glades"), keeps a life-changing secret of his own from his mother. The fan-favorite series will also feature Stiles' real-life sister, Jane O'Hara ("Law & Order"), who makes her WIGS debut as Blue's sister, a free-spirited woman who crashes at Blue's apartment with her lover (Alexz Johnson, "Instant Star"). Also this season, a man (James Morrison, "Revenge," "24") from Blue's past returns and has some unexpected news for her. Other new cast members include Daren Kagasoff ("The Secret Life of the American Teenager") and Alexz Johnson ("Instant Star"), as well as Laura Spencer ("The Lizzie Bennet Diaries"), who cameos as her WIGS character, "Vanessa," from JAN and VANESSA & JAN. Kathleen Quinlan ("Apollo 13"), Carla Gallo (BONES, "Men of a Certain Age") and James Morrison ("Revenge," "24") will reprise their roles.
