I am very happy to tell this story, which is really international and very modern. We’ve brought together some of the most talented people in the business. It’s always a pleasure to work with Denise Di Novi and I’ve wanted to work with Elisabeth Moss for a long time. Of course, FX and I are old friends. I think it will be a landmark television event.
