It’s nearly impossible to turn on the TV and not see at least one of Greg Berlanti’s shows airing. In fact, over the past few years, Berlanti Productions has had as many as 20 shows on the air at o…
After growing up in rural New York, he attended Northwestern University and thought about a career in theater, but wasn’t sure what he wanted to do. “I knew I liked storytelling. In college, I quickly realized that I wasn’t a tenth of the actor as some of my compatriots. I’ve always had a great deal of admiration for actors because I knew I couldn’t do it,” he tells. “I always loved television, but it’s more of a retroactive thing where you kind of look back and go, ‘Well, that makes sense.
“So much of my early career was tied to being able to speak my truth and talk about who I was and my personal experience, and because that led to me doing better work, it’s always been a thing for me — giving an opportunity to people that may not look like me or may not have my background, or may not be my gender or whatever, but have stories to tell,” says Berlanti, who came out as gay to his family in 1996.
“The first year it came out on The CW in 2018, it didn’t do as well as we all wanted it to do. It took going to Netflix for it to explode and grow and now I think it’s their No. 1 show now,” he says. “For me, it was about telling a point of view that I felt like hadn’t been on TV, but when I watch, it still feels like those early ‘Dawson’s’ or ‘Everwood’ episodes.”
Pedowitz also summed up their relationship in anecdote, telling a story of the first year of “Arrow,” during which he asked Berlanti if he’d like to do a spinoff around the Flash. “When we were growing up in this business, before he had kids, Greg would rise by 6 a.m. so he could spend his mornings reading or writing for pleasure — biographies, history books, memoirs,” she says. “He would journal or write new, original material. Then he would go work a full day as a budding mogul. Meanwhile, I would sleep until 9:30 a.m. because I had stayed up too late tweeting.”From his start in this industry, Berlanti felt a thrill of being part of every step of a project.
