Amazon’s ‘Homecoming’ creators Eli Horowitz, Micah Bloomberg speak on adapting the critically acclaimed podcast to a television series

The producers behind Amazon’s ‘Homecoming’ are making history with the first ever podcast turned television series

Amazon’s newest drama ‘Homecoming’ has already made history, being movie star Julia Roberts' first foray in television. However, what many people don’t know is that the series was actually inspired by a podcast on the Gimlet network of the same name. Creators of the series Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg were also the producers behind the critically acclaimed podcast, which starred Catherine Keener, David Schwimmer and Amy Sedaris. 

With the influx of interest in true crime podcasts, Horowitz and Bloomberg never had the intention of turning their unique podcast into a series. That said, the hype quickly grew, gaining attention from Hollywood producers and stars, one of whom was Julia Roberts.
