Louisa Levy breaks down the emotional turning points behind Hannah and Garrett’s devastating breakup, the writers room process behind the Amazon Prime adaptation, and how the series stayed true to Elle Kennedy’s beloved books.
In this exclusive Off Campus interview, Levy explains how the creative team approached Garrett’s trauma storyline, Hannah’s panic spiral in Episode 7, and the difficult balance of adapting deeply emotional moments from the novels for television. She also reveals how director Silver Tree shaped the show’s visual identity through intricate split-screen sequences, and why the writers largely stayed close to the original scripts once production began.
Levy discusses the importance of showing Garrett processing abuse and fear without over-explaining it, how Hannah’s loss of control fuels the breakup scene, and the editing choices that tied together the episode’s emotional timeline. She also shares behind-the-scenes details about the music-driven sequence featuring Hannah’s breakthrough moment and how VFX helped transform a bright daytime shoot into one of the series’ most emotional nighttime scenes.
