That Was Us

Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger and Us | Showrunners of This Is Us


Listen Later

Get excited because This is Us Co-Showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger join us to share their experience leading the beloved series for all six seasons. They take us behind the scenes of their creative process, from how episodes were assigned to writers to their synergy with creator Dan Fogelman. We also dive into the art of bringing humanity to every episode, the challenge of handling actor improvisations, and the debate over incorporating COVID into the show. Plus, they reveal which storyline was the toughest to write and why small, deeply personal stories can impact audiences the most.

That Was Us is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions. Music by Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith.
