Bos and Thureen wrote the script, interpolating some of Everett’s real experiences and a few verbatim quotes.īut isn’t the show supposed to be a comedy? “In our mind, we are making a drama that happens to be funny,” he said.Ī seven-episode series was greenlit early in 2020, then paused when the pandemic began. Everett and Jay Duplass, a director and executive producer on the show, took a research trip to Manhattan, Kan., so Duplass could meet her family, walk its not-so-mean streets and soak up what Everett suggested were its passive-aggressive vibes. “We didn’t want to do a snarky show,” Everett said. The show’s bittersweet message is that it’s never too late to find yourself, whenever and wherever you are. The second one is arguably Sam’s, though its comedy of chosen family is tinged with heartbreak. That first story is more or less Everett’s, though it took decades of restaurant work and a lot of sozzled karaoke nights before she had anything that could be called a career. There are plenty more about big-city transplants finding happiness only when they return home. There are plenty of stories about small-town kids who come to the city with a dollar and a dream, and make good. “They threw in the dead sister, and I was sold,” Everett said. With this prompt, Bos and Thureen, writing partners who have worked on “High Maintenance” and “Mozart in the Jungle,” pitched a show that drew on Everett’s real life - Kansas upbringing, unholy pipes, a mother who drinks, a sister who died young - and then imagined how this woman might express herself in a place that didn’t seem to welcome her heart or her gifts. She wanted a project that traded on more than Everett’s outrageousness, that also acknowledged the shyer, more guarded woman that she is in her offstage life. Strauss, a former top executive at HBO, had helped to arrange Everett’s deal with the network. “She was like, ‘Oh, they’re Midwestern.’” “That’s how she found us,” Thureen joked. Which may explain why the producer Carolyn Strauss, who had first worked with Everett on “Love You More,” a pilot for Amazon, connected them. Unhurried in its pacing, gentle in its tone and generally sympathetic to the vagaries of human behavior, “Somebody Somewhere” is not necessarily the show you might expect from pairing Everett with Bos and Thureen, founders of the avant-garde theater collective the Debate Society.īut each has strong roots in the Midwest - Everett in Manhattan, Kan., where the show is set Bos in Evanston, Ill. “That’s really going to rattle some people.” ‘DJ Real‘ uses a combination of technology and sound that keeps you laughing while at the same time wondering ‘how is he doing that?" - also think they’re going to be shocked to see me in a bra,” she added. "The word ‘innovative’ is typically over used in the bay area, in this case it actually applies.
