“Plec is making her mark on TV by creating characters and stories that generate some of the most passionate fandoms around.”
Unstoppable: Showrunner Julie Plec
“Genre shows — at least, the ones I like — deal with universal themes of love, mortality and loss,” Plec says. “I think people like to see those deep emotional themes wrapped up in a fantasy package…. We hit a combo platter of theme and tone that really connected with our audience.”

“Everyone’s different and you can succeed and be proud of the stories that you tell and the way that you tell them, even if you aren’t the Tolstoy of your medium.”
