This article contains spoilers for Mrs. Davis through episode 5.
When accomplished TV writer Damon Lindelof was scanning through a stack of scripts to find a writing partner for his next project, he knew he wanted a scribe with nuts and bolts TV experience. He eventually found that partner in the form of Tara Hernandez, who had worked on traditional TV heavy-hitters like The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon.
Together, Lindelof and Hernandez would go on to create the concept of Peacock‘s wild new sci-fi series Mrs. Davis. But why, exactly, did Lindelof seek a collaborator who knew how to write within a comfortable sitcom format for this ambitious project? Because in order to upend the expectations of television storytelling one has to first master them.
“It does feel a bit non-magical and mundane to break down the fundamental aspects of creativity,” Lindelof told Den of Geek at this year’s SXSW.
