TNT’s Will Podcast

The official companion podcast to the TNT original series Will, a new drama about a young William Shakespeare. Join historian Michael Wood each week for an in-depth episode discussion with Craig Pearce (creator and executive producer) and Shekhar Kapur (executive producer and director), as they reveal behind-the-scenes details and parse fact from fiction in Shakespeare’s mysterious backstory. New episodes of Will air Mondays at 9/8c on TNT. Director/Executive Producer Shekhar Kapur returns to the podcast to discuss the Will finale with host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce, and to explain why he believes that if Shakespeare were to write a play about his life today, it would be similar to TNT’s Will. The trio provide insight into Topcliffe’s real-life undoing, how the fundamentalist natures of Robert Southwell and Topcliffe mirror the evil in today’s society, the price of genius, and what it took to balance the series’ political thriller angle with the personal love story between Will and Alice. Plus, they give background on the incredible cast whose amazing performances brought the series to life. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
