It Starts On The Page (Drama): Read ‘Paradise’ Episode 1 Script “Wildcat Is Down” With Foreword By Dan Fogelman


'Paradise' creator Dan Fogelman talks about writing Episode 1 of the Hulu drama series. Part of a franchise featuring scripts of Emmy contenders.

In it, he reveals how a kernel of an idea he got more a decade ago from a loud construction noise during his drive home from a business meeting with a powerful Hollywood type led to Paradise. The backstory: As a much younger writer I once found myself in a general meeting with a powerful player in our industry – a person of great reach, resource, and wealth. And what if people with immense power knew it was coming, and had the time to gather their resources and plan for it… so that when it happened, they wouldn’t be left in the lurch like the rest of us.
