Kenna and Rachel Bloom. Co CreatorShowrunner and Co CreatorExecutive ProducerStar of Crazy Ex GirlfriendLoved by critics and finding a dedicated audience, Crazy Ex Girlfriend was something new for the CW, and TV in general a real musical with a diverse cast of great singers with comic chops that explored relationships and love. Bloom won a Golden Globe for the show last year. Even the darkest shows view romantic love and, often, obsession as this magic thing, but as creators we take a very realistic, almost scientific perspective, Bloom says. Running the schedule of the show has been the most challenging part for her, but this is the most artistically fulfilling experience of my life so I am happy to make sacrifices. Mc. Kenna likes that there arent other shows on the air similar to Crazy. What sets us apart is we do two musical numbers per episode. The first season had 4. Fans are certainly ready for more.
