It’s her, Miranda.
Netflix is taking a big swing into YouTube talent with, perhaps, YouTubes least talented.
But thats just the character, who bears no such talent equivalent to her creator.

What did your showrunnersPerry Reinand Gigi McCreery add to the project?
And they will get very upset!
It means a lot to me!
What was the strangest part for you about bringing Miranda into this real world context?
It was all strange!
My whole life, Ive worked by myself.
Ive produced, edited, and I write and do everything all by myself.
Thats been my entire career.
We all sat down together and did our first scene and I couldnt keep it together.
I kept laughing hysterically.
I was just giddy.
I went home from set that night and I just cried of joy.
I was so excited.
It was such a wonderful moment.
Tell me about fleshing out Mirandas family.
What qualities must a Miranda family member have?
But we wanted the opposite: We wanted people who you believed and who felt relatable.
To me, its hard to be funny and tell a story if people arent relatable at all.
I really feel like we found it.
The casting was amazing.
Mirandas sister, Emily, was the hardest role for us to cast.
That was the one role that I hadnt had in my head for eight years.
Shes wonderful, and were like sisters in real life, too.
Does your brother Chris have any heightened stake in the Emily character?
Whats funny is that on set, Chris was the one who would always run up to Francesca.
They had a really tight relationship, which was pretty cool.
My real-life sister and my alter ego sister in the same room with me was very bizarre.
Are you inspired by that?
Thats a huge compliment, thank you!
The comedy that my father and my grandfather instilled in me.
I watched a lot of old movies, and a lot of Carol Burnett and Andy Kaufman.
Its the comedy Ive gravitated towards.
But I dont know!
Thats a huge compliment to me.
What did you oughta learn about Miranda before you could do this show?
The thing I needed to learn about Miranda was where her motivation comes from when she gets upset.
But I needed to learn where the true emotion was coming from.
A lot of it stems from her family.
That was important for me to learn about these other characters.
There are so many things!
So, Im excited for a whole new audience to watch it.
Costumes and props and tons of stuff like that, which I sprinkled around set.
They know everything, and they really appreciate it.Its something just for the fans that they can enjoy.
Haters Back Offis streaming on Netflix now.
