‘House of Cards’ Showrunner Beau Willimon Says He is ‘Proud’ of New ‘Andor’ Season and Working on ‘Severance’


'House of Cards' showrunner Beau Willimon on writing 'Andor' despite not being 'Star Wars' 'aficionado' and 'extraordinary experience' of 'Severance.'

“Tony helped me on ‘House of Cards’ for a couple of seasons as a consulting producer to give me notes on the scripts and became a good friend and mentor,” he recalled. Willimon also had his hand on another majorly successful series this year, boarding Apple TV+’s hit psychological drama “Severance” as an executive producer for Season 2. Talking about the first sparks of inspiration for Kevin Spacey’s Frank Underwood, Willimon cited the series’ infamous opening scene as an example, where the politician strangles a dog to death.
