It stars Charlie Plummer and Kristine Froseth in the two lead roles as Miles Halter and Alaska Young, respectively. The miniseries premiered on Hulu on October 18, 2019. It received acclaim from critics and fans of the book, with praise geared toward its writing, acting, and faithfulness to the source material.
