Amy Schumer sits in the director’s chair while filming Hulu comedy Life & Beth in New York

She’s returning to television screens in a major way.

And Amy Schumer looked completely at ease in the director’s chair as she began filming her latest Hulu comedy, Life & Beth, in New York City on Wednesday morning.

The 39-year-old actress sported an all-black ensemble while jumping in front of the camera for the series which she wrote and will also serve as the executive producer. 

Amy stepped out wearing black pants with a matching shirt as she filmed scenes on the Upper West Side.

She made sure to take COVID-19 safety precautions by wearing a clear plastic face shield between takes.

Schumer stars as Beth in the upcoming show, who’s ‘life looks pretty great on paper,’ but takes a turn as she dives into her past, according to the streaming service.

‘Impressive to everyone she grew up with. She makes a good living as a wine distributor. She’s in a long-term relationship with an attractive, successful guy and lives in Manhattan. When a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past, her life changes forever. 

‘Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become. We’ll go on her journey toward building a more authentic life. Learning to express herself and living in an intentional way. A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy and moving forward.’

Michael Rappaport recently signed on to play teenaged Beth’s father, with Michael Cera also receiving a role in the comedian’s new show.

The I Feel Pretty star has 23-month-old son Gene with her husband Chris Fischer, and has said she’s keen to expand her brood and have a second tot soon. 

When asked about having baby number two by guest host Ashley Graham on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she said: ‘Oh God, I hope so. We’re trying to figure it out. I mean, you know, it’s like there’s nothing better. Yeah. What about you?’ 

Amy previously said she wouldn’t be able to carry any future children after the process of welcoming Gene via IVF was ‘really tough’ on her.

In August, she explained: ‘We did IVF and IVF was really tough on me. I don’t think I could ever do IVF again. “I decided that I can’t be pregnant ever again. We thought about a surrogate, but I think we’re going to hold off for right now.’
