After working on popular and acclaimed shows like Rick and Morty and Community, writer and producer Dan Guterman delves into a very different kind of story with the Netflix original animated series Carol & the End of the World. After humanity learns of an exoplanet hurtling towards Earth that is slated to end all life, unassuming protagonist Carol Kohl struggles to find her place and purpose as society around her takes advantage of their final months. Carol navigates this world in the midst of a mass existential crisis, looking to find the meaning of life in the face of impending doom.In an exclusive interview with CBR, Carol & the End of the World creator Dan Guterman talked about the process behind bringing the animated series to life, including writing its deeper themes and finding the perfect cast and crew.Dan Guterman: The show comes from a lot of different places and is the accumulation of a lot of different influences, as well as the desire to express a lot of different feelings. We wanted to create something new, something very few people had seen before in animated television. We didn’t just want to make a comedy, and we didn’t want just to make a sci-fi series. We wanted to mix different textures and weights. Different flavors. Various moods. The funny and sad, the sweet and surreal, the melancholy. We wanted a show that was existential, that was universal, that could talk about the ethereal. The things in life that are difficult to grasp, that are difficult to parse, difficult to place. And so, we built a story that we felt could encompass all that.
