Said Sherman-Palladino: “We did everything we possibly could to scare them off, but nothing worked. So now we happily plant our flag in Amazon world.”

Sherman-Palladino began her career in the entertainment business as a staff writer on Roseanne during the show’s third season, evolving into story editor and supervising producing posts. She went on to create Gilmore Girls which ran for seven seasons on the WB and in 2016 returned as a four-part mini-series on Netflix.
