Julie Plec on Finding Her Stride as Showrunner
Season one was brutal. Absolutely, hatefully brutal. We were never on schedule, always on the ugly side of a past deadline, struggling to figure out what the show was and how to actually write it.The voice didn't come naturally, we had to find it.
Season two was almost as brutal, because we wanted it to be even better than season one.
The beginning of season three for me, specifically, was excruciating because Kevin was off on The Secret Circle and I didn't want the show to suffer in his absence. I worked myself into a state of near insanity.
Once the middle of season three hit, however, things started to get easier. I tried to micromanage less, be less controlling, less insecure, and set out to do my best to give the other writer-producers more ownership over their material. The "team" really took shape and other writers came out of their shell and started to really blossom and find their own confidence and their own voice.
Season four was very functional and very enjoyable. My favorite season as far as the process goes. I loved watching Caroline Dries, specifically, come into her own as a soon-to-be showrunner.Read an excerpt from Love You to Death: Season 4 as PDF
