Insights from Game of Thrones, True Blood and more

Writer/producer Raelle Tucker (True Blood, Jessica Jones, Sacred Lies) and director Jeremy Podeswa (Game of Thrones, The Handmaid's Tale, Six Feet Under, American Horror Story) discuss how TV has changed – and what they've learnt within it. While in Australia, Raelle and Jeremy, who met making an episode of True Blood together, talk about balancing the roles of a writer and director and an issue on set they had to navigate together. Jeremy reveals the role a director plays even in large established series such as Game of Thrones (with the season 7 finale an example). And Raelle also discusses how creating the Facebook Watch series Sacred Lies differed from making a traditional series – especially when it came to measuring its success.
