So, it really was a common sense thing to do, to do all three, back to back. The more successful an actor, the less likely it is that you’re going to be able to get two people free, at the same time.

It can take another year to find a moment where they’re both free to resume filming. It just made logistical sense to suggest to the BBC that, since there was a third book coming out, we should just that while we were shooting the other two, simply because, even though we didn’t have a clue who we were going to be casting, at that point, because it was very early days, I knew from experience on other shows that it’s very hard to bring your lead actors back once you lose them. When we first went in to BBC and we knew we were going to make them, we hadn’t gotten any scripts, at that moment, and there were only two books out, but at the time of meeting, I knew that a third book was due to come out and would already be out there before we started filming the first two books. KENLEY-LETTS: We shot each story, back to back.

Whilst we were making The Casual Vacancy, the Robert Galbraith books had just come out and the BBC knew that they wanted to do them, so Jo and Neil asked me if I’d like to stay on as a permanent member of staff, in order to oversee the transition of the Galbraith novels into a TV series. So, I came on to produce The Casual Vacancy as a freelance producer, which worked out well. And the BBC introduced me to Jo and Neil to help produce that drama, which is how I got involved with them, in the first instance. Rowling and her agent, Neil Blair, were approached by the BBC to produce The Casual Vacancy, which was her first adult book, and adapt it to TV, Jo and Neil decided to set up their own production company because it would allow Jo to have a bit more control over her work, so they set up Bronte. KENLEY-LETTS: Well, I’ve always been a freelance producer. Rowling start working together, and how did you end up in that position? You’re the Head of Drama at Brontë Film and Television. If all her fans hate what you’ve done, it’s her that they’re going to be tweeting. Rowling fans, so you feel a responsibility to her. And of course, a lot of those fans are J.K.
A lot of the pressure for us making the show was knowing that the books had a lot of fans and they were going to be very vocal about things we might have changed, or what they thought of the casting. In the U.K., the books have been very popular. I have no idea if people will just think, “Oh, my god, this is so boring.” I literally have no idea. You’re always nervous for a new show, but I’m absolutely in a dark hole. Obviously, I’m a British producer and I get the audiences here. RUTH KENLEY-LETTS: Oh, I’m delighted to hear that because we’ve spoken to very few people that have seen the show, that are U.S.-based and I have absolutely no idea how the show will go down with the Cinemax audience.
