Six years after first partnering with Robert Carlock and Tina Fey to write for and eventually co-produce Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” Meredith Scardino recruited the duo to co-produce her own show, “Girls5eva,” the second season finale of which aired earlier this month on Peacock. The musical comedy series about early 2000s girl group members reuniting in middle age stars Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell and Busy Philipps, all of whom recently joined Scardino for a 2022 Emmys FYC panel, moderated by Michael Schneider from Variety. Watch the video Q&a above.
At this point in her career, Scardino has comfortably aligned herself with the Carlock-Fey writing style of stuffing as many zingers as she can into her scripts. Here, she spoke about how “satire has always been… the kind of way that [she feels] comfortable storytelling” and how her experience as an Emmy-winning writer for “The Colbert Report” fostered that mindset.

Anything that came into the writers’ minds, we got to design, so I was all for anything and everything for the second season.”
The season premiere introduces one of the new locations, the girls’ new record company, Property Records, the latest (sadly fictional) venture of the Property Brothers. The conference room where the band takes its many meetings with label rep Tate (Grey Henson) was actually the wardrobe area next to the art department. “We took...
