Emily Longeretta In Variety’s new feature, The One That Got Away, Emmy contenders reflect on one of their projects that never saw the light of day, was canceled too soon or that they’d like to revisit some day.When you hear Sera Gamble’s name, you don’t think of comedy.After getting her start on ABC’s short-lived procedural “Eyes” in 2005, she joined the “Supernatural” writers’ room. Later, she created, executive produced and wrote Syfy’s “The Magicians” and then, in 2018, launched “You” with Greg Berlanti, a drama based on Caroline Kepnes’ twisted novels.The dramas are laced with a bit of darkness — and couldn’t be further from comedy.
When she began though, she didn’t know what route she was headed down. “This is the story of how I was almost a comedy writer.
I would not have predicted this for my career at all,” she tells Variety. “My goal was to be a professional writer, but my first bit of traction to break into the business was with a comedy feature.”She and her writing partner Raelle Tucker moved into a rental house in Van Nuys — “the kind of house where you’re like, some porn was definitely shot here,” she says.Together, they wrote a comedy feature that paid homage to “Dog Day Afternoon” set in a strip club.
It was a finalist in “Project Greenlight,” which landed the duo agents. So, they thought, they’d try to break into the TV side — and stuck with comedy.“We were like, ‘We’re going to write a sample of every conceivable type, because we were not at all picky about what room we might break into.’ We just really needed a job,” she recalls.
“That’s the setup for a script called ‘Misery and Anxiety,’ sort of based on us. It was about two Goth girls named Misery and Anxiety, who lived in a shitty house in Van Nuys,

Sarah Paulson is looking back on her role as Linda Tripp on “Impeachment: American Crime Story.”
Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterThis year marks the 30th anniversary of Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky’s “Brother’s Keeper,” which, as Berlinger says, is “one of the granddaddies of the true-crime docu movement.”It’s true that the 1992 film about the bizarre murder trial of Delbert Ward, who was accused of the “mercy killing” of his brother in rural upstate New York, was an early entrant in our collective societal obsession with the unscripted true-crime format, which in recent years has crossed over to the scripted side.As one of the founding fathers of the format that has piqued our interest in true crime to the point where limited series including “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” “The Staircase,” “The Dropout,” “Inventing Anna,” “Dr. Death,” “A Very British Scandal,” and several more are all competing in the same Emmys’ cycle, Berlinger has some unique insight into the nonfiction-to-dramatized evolution.
