With Twilight, you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With Penoza, we had an eight episode Dutch series that, just for the pilot alone, I condensed three episodes. So, theres a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes. – Melissa Rosenberg
