Emmy nominee Lauren De Normandie opens up about ‘Studio City’ (Includes interview)

It was created by Sean Kanan and Jason Antognoli, and directed by Timothy Woodward Jr. All of these aforementioned filmmakers served as co-writers of the new episodes, along with De Normandie and Michele Kanan.

On writing these five episodes, she said, “It was pretty fun actually. I was in a cabin in Tahoe with a blanket and hot chocolate, and I was on calls with Timothy and Michele Kanan, knocking it out. Writing those were a lot of fun.”

“We were able to develop the characters a lot more this season, and we gave them something more to sink their teeth into. We still wanted the issues since part of the motivation behind this show is to give a voice to people and issues that didn’t necessarily have a voice. We really wanted to showcase that and this season we wanted to beef it up a little bit more,” she elaborated.

Fortunately, for De Normandie COVID-19 didn’t affect her as much because she worked remotely. “I was working remotely for the entire time,” she admitted. “I know the on-site protocols for filming during COVID were a challenge.”

Last summer, the show scored a total of eight Daytime Emmy nominations. “That was amazing,” she said. “We were hoping that was what the outcome was going to be. It was still a surprise and an honor, and overall, it was pretty amazing.”

Studio City’s five new additional episodes of Season 1 are available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
