“All of a sudden we couldn’t make a deal, negotiations stalled. But then Steve Stark asked the MGM bosses to fund the Zoom Writers Room for 10 weeks so we could finish the rest of the first season. We thought this was crazy: “What platform would buy a show that (producers) didn’t participate in and had nothing to do with the development?”

These questions were followed by certainty. According to Gough, “We also thought, ‘If it saves (the project) a life, we’ll do it.’ So it was Miles (Millar), me and two other writers. It wasn’t cheap. the first Zoom room we had because we started during the first week of confinement (due to COVID-19)”.
For his part, Millar recalled the tension they felt after they sent the script to the actors chosen for the characters in Wednesday:
“Usually, you know, if you send a script to an actor, you never get an immediate response. They take eight weeks to respond. So time goes by and you think, “Oh, finally read it?”. It forces you to reach out to them because you almost never get a response.”
