Ryan Murphy Talks with the Women of The Watcher | Netflix

The Watcher vaulted to the No. 1 show on Netflix in its debut weekend, with viewers hooked on the mystery behind the letters from a stranger who seemed to know everything about the Brannock family. Creator Ryan Murphy recently sat down with the women of The Watcher - Naomi Watts, Noma Dumezweni, Mia Farrow, Margo Martindale and Jennifer Coolidge - to discuss the series’ horror/thriller vibes and why audiences are drawn to them.

Ominous letters. Strange neighbors. Sinister threats. A family moves into their suburban dream home, only to discover they've inherited a nightmare.

[@nerd26373]

These women are phenomenal actresses. They’ve really given their all in this show, especially Ms Coolidge.

[@ezzb]

I'm so happy to see Jennifer Coolidge FINALLY receiving the roles and recognition se deserves. And (not that actually matters) she also looks so good

[@natefrmbklyn]

Ryan did some amazing casting across the board, "meaty" roles all around, and some dynamic acting. I am only on episode 5, but damn!!!!

LOOOVE Ryan Murphy, always write great parts for all kinds of women.

"Rosemary's Baby" ...my all time favorite and has been for years...Ruth Gordon...phenomenal!! xo

[@ladyredl3210]

Margo is hilarious! Reminds me of the old school character actors.

[@ezzb]

When I saw Mia Farrow, I went directly see the cast members cuz I just couldn't believe it was actually her! It's been a while. Has she ever been in a tv show?

[@TheSakebomb1]

This is why I love Ryan Murphy.. He writes so many great parts for all women.

[@michalmazurewicz7240]

Such a great cast!!! Love these women!!!🥰💜💙💚💛🧡

[@R7v4]

I love how Ryan always make shows/movies that give opportunities for women, POC, and queer people to shine. Like Glee, Pose, American Horror Story etc.

[@jenlin6715]

I know and that’s what make his shows better than others

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

Noma… you remind me sooo much of Trish Goddard…in fact, I was convinced you were for a hot minute… I heard the voice, then did a ‘double take’!! Wow 🤩 !Absolutely stunnin! Mia, you played this part soooo well…perfection! Jennifer…gosh you were so NASTY!! 💃🏻ouch! 🤗🇦🇺 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I thoroughly enjoyed this series, watched it with my daughter. 🥳🎈🥳

[@Moshe.1972]

I'm just started watching this WOW!!! I'm hooked great so far

[@realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0]

Gawd, what is wrong with him, Jennifer would be so perfect for AHS!!

[@kassassin_brahgawk]

Fav Naomi horror/thriller is Funny Games. She is A ROCK in that movie. Just incredibly acted and an amazing character.

[@danjun7986]

Mia needs to do SON OF ROSEMARY since she is the right age to do the role now, she was the standout of the Omen remake so, hopefully 🤞🏻

[@aroidpapa]

Noma is just breathtaking ugh

[@laemperatriz1982]

❤❤❤loved it! Very interesting... kept me interested and thrilled. had to watch them all in one day.. needed to know... awesome show.

Ryan did an amazing work as usual and the cast was delightful! Once you’ve started, you just can’t stop watching… YOU JUST WANNA KNOW who’s doing it…😂💪🏼

[@ljbix4037]

Ryan you are having a MOMENT this year. I watch everything you do and am really looking forward to the next season of AHS. Love how you use women in your roles as such strong and fantastic characters. Have really enjoyed the more ‘real life’ series you have been doing of late

[@thebatman07]

This show is soo good

A strong cast leads to a great watch and experience.

The Watcher is great and the cast are a group of amazing actors. I watched the whole series in two days. I watched five episodes in one day and then two the following day. Loved it. Can’t wait to see what Ryan Murphy creates next.

[@stirlingarcher7972]

Is that dangerous fugitive and highly acclaimed Character Actress Margo Martindale?

[@0toeknee0]

AWESOME series. MORE please.

[@Horus070]

What a great show ❤️

[@bookofdust]

Having known many potters in my life, I assumed Naomi and Bobby wore beiges out of need to hide all the clay streaks from marking up their clothing and I’m sad he didn’t confirm that’s why.

[@fv6125]

Margo Martindale is so underrated

[@MotherRupaul]

brilliant

[@terigiese1322]

This cast was phenomenal!The story itself was just a tad disappointing TBH?But.The characters were very intriguing and played well🖤👏🏻👏🏻💫

[@crenattahm6018]

I have watched it recently and it’s a thrilling movie and 😁👍although I hope there will be the continue of this series as I want to know who actually the watcher is.. I really want to know the ending.. 💙

[@jeremykinser62]

Loved this, but how the heck does Mia Farrow not understand that Rosemary's Baby is not only the greatest horror film of all time but also one of the greatest films of all time?

[@neilmc1981]

[@fabfafa]

The acting was very good, but the story ending was very disappointing 😞

[@sheilacseymour8658]

Don’t forget about Ms Lange, Ryan. J Cool and Ms Lange together!

[@stylinsue535]

[@ldycop74]

Agreed, the story caught my interest but the acting definitely kept me.

It's a trend with Ryan Murphy's productions 😆 Casting is always 😙🤌

[@danjun7986]

Yep they need to step up storyline wise in the second season

[@Diana1000Smiles]

Mia Farrow frightened me. She scared my husband, too. We love her.

[@aliapalacio2271]

Wow I know EXACTLY which character he was referring to when he said he wrote a AHS character for Mia!

[@lady316]

I'm guessing the Coven witches.

Is so crazy to see Margot Martindale in real life after Bojack horseman

[@rowelle]

Mia is off her rocker.

[@ryanng754]

This story is about people remember coworker and she always talk about her , she always try to seperate her and coworker, her friend handcuff to talk about each person have something bad, let the black blood pass to whole company.

[@zenica12]

Is there gonna be season 2?

[@lifewsuccess]

yes

[@hustonbrice8654]

Hi how are you doing

[@Diana1000Smiles]

I'm having an above average day. How about you? Do you have clean air and water?

[@iamtheprotagonist]

Wish they would have mentioned Mia’s incredible acting performance in the classic “Death on the Nile” film as Jackie De Bellefort.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Outside the city is always more scary than inside the city. Outside city people are spooky/ creepy as all get out. People outside the city watch more goings on in their own area/ community. There is always some peeking through their curtains and watching. And a newbie coming into a community is always scary, as you are the outsider coming into their world/ clique. You almost have to abide by THEIR way of living, and doing things. Kind of like "Stepford".

[@Diana1000Smiles]

Wow, and I live in a Wilderness area. Not a wonder people on digital media treat me like an alien undergoing metamorphosis.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Rural/ remote/ wilderness type is way better than a community type area. Rural/ remote/ wilderness you have space/ privacy, and peace/ quiet, usually. Not so much with outside the city community type living.

[@ramziamm]

I am only into horror because everything and everybody bores me 😕

[@thecalmingwitch]

I don’t like him… I get a very icky feeling from him. I think he’s overrated and that his internal dialogue is probably pretty grotesque since he has underage girls in sexualized roles all the time. His fixation on satanism, cults, and blood rituals etc. irks me to my very core. It doesn’t even feel like a writer’s style anymore like Stephen King(at least his stories are fictional). Ryan seems fixated on the real horrors people can face on a daily basis. Like stuff that has happened or can actually happen. It’s creepy.
