Emma Moran, the talented writer of the Disney+ series Extraordinary, absolutely obliterates the myth of perfection in her new interview with Stylist.
, absolutely obliterates the myth of perfection in her new interview withIn spring 2020, Emma Moran was working on her MA in screenwriting and spending the Covid lockdown as many of us were: back in her childhood bedroom, worrying about work, seeing very few people. But then she got a call: the script she’d won a competition with less than a year previously was getting picked up by Disney+.
I speak to Moran about the experience of having a debut show streamed on one of the biggest entertainment platforms in the world, writing through lockdown and being OK with not being the best .Yeah, I’m really proud. It’s really cheesy, but a few months ago I was like: ‘I think it’s my favourite TV show!’Mmm, I’m nervous for my parents to watch it – there are some rude bits in it.
I always wanted to write a classic flatshare sitcom, but when I tried to write the standard one, it was always like there was something missing: I’d seen it before, there was nothing special about it. Then when I was trying to write this, it felt like pop culture was getting inundated with the superhero genre and this is a very loving pastiche of it – I do like those movies but I just felt like, ‘Oh god, these people are just great.
Yeah, yeah, and it’s interesting because you can check off one box then, like, three more boxes appear, you know? ‘Oh, great the career’s going good; I’m lucky that I found the thing I want to do and I’m good at it,’ but ‘Oh, it would be nice to have a partner or something, have a haircut…’ We deal with that in the show: you’re never satisfied so don’t beat yourself up. There’s always gonna be a new thing you’re upset about.
…in my pyjamas that my mum put on the radiator for me, yeah. And she brings me my tea. It did feel like a weird regression into adolescence, which was probably quite helpful for the show, because everyone in the show is in arrested development and doesn’t feel like a proper adult.Yeah, you just become like a child and everything becomes childish instantly. You flip a switch.
