We spoke w/ 'Mrs. Davis' creators Damon Lindelof & Tara Hernandez about telling a bonkers story and the hunger for the unexpected.
From co-creators Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez , the Peacock original series Mrs. Davis follows Sister Simone , a nun on a mission to destroy a powerful artificial intelligence that is determined to have her complete an epic quest. Begrudgingly participating with the goal of ending the AI in return, Simone is forced to deal with her past, in the form of her ex-boyfriend Wiley , who’s part of an underground resistance, while figuring out how to defeat an all-knowing enemy.
TARA HERNANDEZ: This is a mythology dense series, all with very careful crafting and utilizing the talents of our amazing writers room. But certainly when crafting a pilot, it has to be character focused. What’s gonna keep audiences coming back, or what’s even gonna just turn the page, episode to episode, is someone that you’re on the journey with and that you can go through all the bonkers left and right turns and zigzags and ups and downs with.
HERNANDEZ: You never know, one hundred percent, especially when you’re trying to push your own creative and do something that you have never done before. To Damon’s point about having trust in the audience that we could go there and maybe they’d want to go there with us, so let’s all climb on the coaster together, that was something we just wanted to try and wanted to hope for.
