Look out,Marvel: There’s an inspiring — and terrifying — new fandom on the horizon.
“We want to build new characters in the scary space that are iconic and live forever, and one day can be among the ranks of Frankenstein,” says Krantz, 28. “And we are excited to be cultivating a new rank of monsters that are speaking to a young audience, and empowering them in their own life. Characters that can become a part of their identity and influence them on the path to good, whatever that is in their own minds.”

“This is a story for the people who feel cast aside, or forgotten and marginalized,” Krantz says. “This is their show. So, it’s powerful to see that they’ve taken to it the way that they have. But I think that ultimately it’s just a testament to the incredible writers, directors, cast members, our executives at Facebook Watch. Every person that you’re meeting was so aligned in the vision.”
“It was a beautiful experience,” she says. “Our executives at Facebook were incredibly smart women on the development side of things, as well as the production side of things. The writer that we brought on, Casey, is a brilliant trans woman, and injected so much humanity and heart into the stories of what it is to come of age.”

“We will be far stronger. We will be international,” Krantz says. “We want you to see our logo, and we want you to feel it in your soul what we’re about.”
