It was then that the showrunner of the main series, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, asked him to make a prequel based on this event. De Barra said he didn’t have any ideas for the series until three weeks later, when suddenly it all started coming up: “the world. Characters. The names of the characters. What everyone did.
