Write On with 'Them' Creator Little Marvin

Write On talks with Little Marvin about his thought-provoking new show and how Lena Waithe boarded the project. "I wrote the pilot… probably three years back. I did the rounds; I got some agents, I did the rounds for a few months, and I got linked up with Miri Yoon, who's an executive producer at Vertigo with Roy Lee, and she asked me… 'Who would you like to sign on as a collaborator?' And I threw out Lena Waithe as kind of a dare almost, just like, 'Let's see what you can do about it…' and like two days later, I was sitting down with Lena."

Little Marvin also talked about his experience as a first-time creator and showrunner. "This was not only my first job as a showrunner; this was my first job in television. I didn't come from other people's writers' rooms, I'd never experienced any piece of making a TV show, and then I was the creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer of my first thing… I spent every minute of it white-knuckling it… through the entire experience because what they don't tell you about it is just how much you're going to be doing."
