NO ONE PLUCKED PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE FROM
obscurity. She did it her own damn self by sheer creative force.
Crafting Fleabag (with all its many iterations) and spearheading a
modern revolution for Sandra Oh on BBC America’s Killing Eve,
she’s not just writing more meaty, complex roles for women, she’s
writing more meaty, complex roles, period. Searingly sharp and
endlessly inventive, Waller-Bridge—who is currently nominated
for four Emmys (three for Amazon Prime Video’s Fleabag and one
for Killing Eve)—is pushing the era of “prestige television” into its
next evolution, one that definitely includes a “hot priest.” Now, let’s
see what the 34-year-old can do for James Bond as she reworks the
script for the 25th 007 film, No Time to Die. —NICK ROMANO
