I am releasing the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Lost Episode (my spec script), “Kimmy Becomes a Big Sister,” into the universe. Â The script chronologically takes place after Season One of the Netflix hit show.
How does one go about writing a spec script? This is what I did. Having watched the entire first season, IÂ got a copy of the pilot (which envisioned a different name for the show) and deconstructed it. I copied the formatting of the script but had such a good feel for the voices of each of the characters that once I started to write them, from the point that I wrote down their names on my Final Draft created script the popped into life and I could see Jacqueline, Kimmy, Titus, Lillian and others saying my words. It was a really fun experience.
Things have happened both in New York City and on the show that make the script dated. Â But it fits “feel” of the show and could have been a lost episode of the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt somewhere in between Seasons One and Two or at the start of Season Two.
I hope you will enjoy reading Kimmy Becomes a Big Sister and send me your comments on social media or at johnny@johnnypappas.com.
