'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' creator Austin Winsberg tells THR about the origins of his high-concept series and how he plans to make the most out of its all-star cast
What's not conveyed on [my IMDb] are all the different projects that sold over the years that got close and didn't get made. I have spent a lot of years besides writing on TV shows, selling a lot of TV shows. I've sold shows to every single broadcast network, to Showtime, to Amazon, to Freeform, all different kinds of networks. And I've sold things that are half-hour, hourlong, working every different genre — sitcom, I sold a sci-fi show.
There's two kinds of rights for songs. When you do a needle drop on a show and you're playing the actual song that the person has done, that is one [type]. When you get rights to a song and you do your own versions with your own re-records, that's actually a smaller fee because you're not actually playing the Beatles. You're not actually playing Whitney Houston. So we have a sizable music budget, but it might not be as big as you think.
Sometimes we would say, "We know we want this song in this episode because we know this episode is dealing with this kind of idea." But other times we would get to a point in the story where we would feel like, "This is a song moment," then we're looking for a song here that has to do with jealousy, or has to do with someone being duplicitous, or someone confessing their love to somebody.
