How was it to film the final
episodes of “The Bold Type” during
the coronavirus pandemic?

shut down at the same time as the rest
of the planet, so we came back to a
process that was unlike anything that any
of us had ever experienced.

environment anyway. It was intense, but
in general, I felt this overwhelming sense
of gratitude that we had the opportunity
to come back and finish the show in
a way that was intentional. You don’t
