Sharon Rooney by Otto Masters for Rollacoaster, Summer 2023

“I think, what Barbie’s taught me is that you can do anything and be everything because she’s a woman who – literally – does everything. I’d really love to write something of my own. I see how clever Greta is and how wonderful she is and such an amazing actress, but she also is a phenomenal director. And Margot [Robbie] as well, she's an outrageously brilliant actress, but she's also got a fantastic production company. Barbie’s been a brilliant job to be surrounded by people like that who are working so hard but are all just really good people. In summary, Barbie’s taught me a lot about just going for it and believing.”

I got such a wave of nostalgia just from seeing these screen names come across my dash!

I was late to start MMFD. I came in sometime after *that* gif of Rae and Finn talking in her bed after her party started popping up everywhere in my casual scrolling 🥰

Little did I know that gif would lead me to one of my all-time favorite shows and a little community of like-minded watchers that would immediately feel like home!

I was never writing more than when I was watching MMFD. I felt so inspired by the show itself and by all of the other incredible authors whose work I was reading ferociously. There’s still a folder on my computer bursting with unfinished ideas that I go back to once in a while just to feel a little of the magic I felt in those days.

Truly cannot believe it’s been 10 years when it all feels like yesterday?? Bonkers.

It was such a fun, friendly community, and there were a huge number of mega-talented writers and artists. It was a fandom punching well above its weight!

Spy/Master will have its premiere at the Berlinale film festival, 16-26 February 2023.

Nico Mirallegro has been in Romania and Hungary, filming a new HBO Max Original, 'Spy/Master', a spy drama series set during the height of the Cold War.

'Spy/Master covers a week in the life of fictional character Victor Godeanu (Alec Secăreanu), the right-hand man and closest advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. However, Godeanu has a secret: He is also a double agent and must escape Romania and Ceaușescu before his cover is exposed.

With only one shot at staying alive, he uses a diplomatic trip to Germany as a springboard to the States. Helped by an undercover Stasi agent and former flame, played by Deutschland89’s Svenja Jung, and an up-and-coming CIA agent, played by Parker Sawyers ('Southside With You'), Godeanu must elude the KGB and his own country’s spooks (Ana Ularu and Laurențiu Bănescu), fully aware that his defection is putting his family back home in mortal danger.'

Nico plays 'John Miller'. He seems to have worked closely with Parker Sawyers, who plays the CIA agent, so Nico's character might a British or American agent.

Ceaușescu was President from 1974 to 1989, but those suits look very 70s, so I'm guessing the drama is set early on in his dictatorship.

Spy/Master will have six 50-minute episodes. Broadcast date TBA.

The Habit of Beauty (2016), starring Nico Mirallegro, is now available to rent on Prime Video.
