Screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada, 27 Dresses) was taking a break from her latest film project when she stumbled across an animated Disney parody on YouTube. The woman behind it was Rachel Bloom, and after bingeing on every Bloom video she could find, Brosh McKenna knew she wanted to work with her.
Creative Screenwriting recently spoke with Brosh McKenna about the genesis of Crazy Ex, her adjustment to showrunner, and the long-lasting professional relationships that have stemmed from this project.Fast-forward a few years and the result of that collaboration, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, will be entering its fourth and final season this fall.
