Before Hurt, there was In-Betweener.
Craig Selbrede, co-creator of Hurt, initially envisioned In-Betweener as a sci-fi look at who we all want to be. Olivia offered feedback on scripts as Selbrede worked to develop the format. When he decided to shoot the pilot, she stepped in to play “The Void,” a seemingly-helpful figure with an agenda of their own.
While the rest of In-Betweener was put on the backburner, Selbrede took some of those same themes and applied them to Hurt, which he co-created with Liam Gilbey. Olivia joined the writers’ room for the second season. The first season is available to watch on YouTube and SparkTV. The second season is currently filming, with a release date projected for late 2023 or early 2024.
