Production on “Station Eleven” was well underway before the coronavirus pandemic began to sweep the globe. Podeswa, who previously directed episodes of “Game of Thrones” and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” discussed how a real-world pandemic impacted the writing of the HBO Max series during a virtual panel Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour. “The themes of the show were becoming so resonant as we’re going forward, it really made us think so much about what’s important in life, which is really what the show’s about,” said Jeremy Podeswa, an executive producer and director on the series. “Really what matters is other people, the people in your life you care about, your health, and also making art, which is what we’re all doing with this show. That really gave us a great sense of purpose in a really difficult time.” As for Somerville, “Station Eleven” is one of several shows that the writer has created since working on “The Leftovers”; Somerville previously created Netflix’s “Maniac,” as well as HBO Max’s “Made for Love,” which premiered in April.
