Amid the wave of virtual Hollywood events raising funds and voting awareness in the final days before Nov. 3,star Kelly McCreary has taken her own unique approach to election advocacy. McCreary, who plays Dr. Maggie Pierce on the hit ABC drama series, leads scripted podcast eventa one-time, 50-minute show that follows a diverse group of people the day after an election.
The podcast — which was released Oct. 21 and was written and directed by McCreary's husband and TV director Pete Chatmon, with co-writer Candice Sanchez McFarlane — was originally intended to be a short film, but due to COVID-19 limitations was pivoted to an audio-only special. "I think the intensity of a single-sense experience really helps to underline how close all of these people are to us, whether we are them, in some way, or we know people close to them or we've been impacted in some way close to them," says McCreary. The show features McCreary as Jeannine Hamilton, who loses a local election on Nov. 3 and on Nov. 4 finds herself at brunch with her father and his duplicitous colleagues as they engage in a dangerous game of political horsetrading.
Though the podcast doesn't reference any real-life political figures or races,"it's about a place that has the opportunity to make a turn away from autocratic authoritarianism and didn't, and what that means when the election is over," McCreary says."Of course, it's calledbecause, theoretically, our election is normally over on Wednesday morning; this year, that's not the case.
