“The small town aspect is like the pandemic; not knowing anyone out there and being so isolated, adds Notaro, and everything gets kicked up.”
Allynne starred and wrote on the Notaro co-created Amazon Prime series One Mississippi. Something Fierce has a number of projects in the works including the Netflix political
