We just thought if we could combine that with the foibles of modern existence, then we could make something fun. We both grew up obsessed with Disney, and obsessed with fairy tales, and obsessed with Shelley Duvall’s “Faerie Tale Theatre.” We love fairy tales, and we love fantasy. I always wanted to do something about a Maleficent-style evil queen, who’s having a little bit of a crisis of conscience or wondering if she really wants to be in charge or not. So we wanted to hop on board this new thing that’s happening. I find that I can no longer sit in silence or walk anywhere in silence, which is actually a problem. Q: How did you come up with the idea for “Heads Will Roll”?Ī: Broadway Video was partnering with Audible, which I thought was very exciting, because we both are huge, insane podcast fanatics. But this was definitely the first audio show that we have attempted.

In terms of doing a project as adults, we definitely did a web series for Broadway Video, Lorne Michaels’ company, a few years ago called “Notary Publix,” about notaries. Q: Had you and Emily worked together on anything like this before?Ī: We’ve been making videos and stuff together our whole lives.

The first show to come out of the deal is “Heads Will Roll,” a fantasy-comedy created by and starring “Saturday Night Live” mainstay Kate McKinnon and her sister, stand-up comic Emily Lynne. Audible and Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video announced in February a deal for the “Saturday Night Live” creator’s company to produce original series for the Amazon-owned audio platform.
