Married showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson detail the “soul-crushing” expectations to follow up their drama’s breakout debut and why they think Hollywood has devalued writers.
— because that was still a thing back in the day. We were just at the end of that thing where it was like, “Oh, just write a pretend episode of a show that you like.”Nope. And, as a showrunner, I really wish we could bring it back. There’s development writing and then there’s staff writing. They’re such different things.
It’s been said you received more than 250 writing submissions for season two staff, well above the norm.It was flattering to see how many people wanted to come on board. But we love our writing staff, so we didn’t have a ton of room. We didn’t for season three, either.I don’t know that we’re entirely comfortable judging our peers. You want to just honor that enthusiasm and be like, “Yes, come on in!” But that’s not practical. And our show is not going to give us that kind of budget.
Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson were photographed March 6 at Los Angeles restaurant Tam O’Shanter, where they’ve been known to break stories.
