A limited series is a show that begins knowing when it will end. It has a certain number of episodes and is not vying for the network to carry their show on for years and years to come.
Hulu is given the rights to host the adaptation of the bestseller book 'Little Fires Everywhere,' starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. The new show is slated to run for eight episodes, although the premiere date is to be determined.
