In an interview earlier this month with Vanity Fair, Alison Brie and Dave Franco discussed the process of bringing “Somebody I Used to Know” to life. They wrote it while quarantining at home in 2020 — right around the time that “GLOW” was canceled. The interviewer pointed out that Brie’s character, Ally, is also facing the professional disappointment of her show getting canceled and asked if she was inspired by her own experience with “GLOW.”
“It’s probably not an accident that Ally’s show is brutally canceled between its third and fourth season,” Brie said. As it turns out, when Brie and Franco began writing, she still thought she would be returning to set. The actress continued, “We were already shooting the first two episodes of ‘GLOW’ Season 4, which was why we had a special urgency [to finish the script]. We were like, ‘Oh, we have these two weeks and then I’m going to go back into production on the show.’ I guess that just wove its way in.”
Franco said that Ally’s career reflects plenty of other moments that he and Brie have gone through in their professional lives before. “On top of that, there have definitely been moments in our careers where we feel like we’ve been holding on a little too tight because we’re scared that it’ll all go away,” the director added. “You almost forget why you got into it in the first place. And what ends up happening is you stop taking risks.”
