Today, Jess & Jenn sit down with the brilliant and versatile Kai Wu, a writer and producer whose storytelling has shaped some of the most captivating genre series on television. From Hannibal to The Flash, Carnival Row, Paper Girls, and American Born Chinese, Kai has built a career bringing rich, character-driven worlds to life. She also created The Ghost Bride for Netflix and recently earned a WGA Award nomination for her work as a Co-Executive Producer on A Murder at the End of the World (FX).
Born in Taiwan and raised in Maryland, Kai's journey into writing began with diary pages and evolved into developing original projects with Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, and Freeform. In this conversation, we explore her path as a storyteller, how she navigates the industry post-strike, and the challenges of crafting fresh, dynamic genre narratives.
