With that comes the people that are working the land, and I got to experience them laughing, and I got to see how hard they work. Everyone was on set every day, so we really got to see what it was actually like to be on a very large piece of land in Northern California. “We were on set filming A California Christmas, the first movie for Netflix, and we were on a very successful dairy farm. However, Swickard didn’t stop at creating the show, she also co-wrote the series and acts as its showrunner.ĭuring our chat with Swickard, we talked how the show came to life, finding the cast, her unique approach to showrunning, and so much more.

Suddenly it's time for fair Juliet to decide whether she and Sykes are meant-to-be star-crossed lovers - or whether Romeo has been right by her side all along.EXCLUSIVE: Lauren Swickard Talks the Creation of her New Show, ‘Casa Grande’ When Juliet gets back, Will's all sweet again and Sykes pitches an ad campaign suspiciously similar to Juliet's. So sorry that he whisks Juliet away for a romantic weekend in Verona, the storied home of her Shakespearean namesake. To Juliet's surprise, the mystery driver turns out to be an adman named Sykes - her competition for the hot account - and he's awfully sorry about the splashing.

What's worse he was gorgeous, the kind of guy you dream would sweep you off your feet.or at least remember you on Valentine's Day.
