DoRevenge director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson reflects on her MTV series 'Sweet/ Vicious': “Did they promote it? No. Did anyone know about it? No. Did they premiere it on election day in 2016? Yes. Nevertheless, she persisted.”
. It’s a welcome return to the YA genre for Robinson, who most recently co-wrote this summer’s blockbuster “Thor: Love and Thunder” with Taika Waititi. She first made her mark on streaming with Netflix’s “Someone Great,” a funny and touching ode to love and female friendship, starring Gina Rodriguez.
She looked to her young actors to offer a certain Gen Z-sais quoi to the script , though she maintains the high school experience is — for better or worse — evergreen. Hawke, who remembers instantly connecting with Robinson during her Zoom audition, praises her director for giving the actors “a tremendous amount of space to play.”
She has no ill-will toward MTV. “They let me creatively make the show I wanted to make,” she says. Then again, she continues, “Did they promote it? No. Did anyone know about it? No. Did they premiere it on election day in 2016? Yes. Nevertheless, she persisted.” With “Thor: Love and Thunder,” which grossed $755 million at the global box office, Robinson is entering a new phase of her career, armed with the confidence she needs to remain selective about the work she takes on.
