They made clear that they love the show, love how it serves underrepresented audiences, love its heart & humor, but...we need more viewers. They'll decide soon.
I wish I felt more confident
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Tell friends to watch!
Good morning networks. I’ve met with you in the past & you’ve said “If only we had
@OneDayAtATime
” Good news.... we can be yours! We can easily do a reset so that those not familiar with the show will get all the info they need. Call Sony. The fight continues.
#saveodaat
👍🏽
It's officially over. There will be no new
@OneDayAtATime
episodes. But there will always be 46 episodes that we got to make that live FOREVER. Thank you to this beautiful cast. Our dedicated crew. And to you, our loyal fans. We loved making this for you. Thank you for watching.
My child was invited to a slumber party. I literally burst out laughing. I was like..."I'm so sorry. I'm a Latina. I don't let slumber parties happen in normal times I sure as hell am not gonna loosen it up during a world-wide pandemic."
Fun fact about
@OneDayAtATime
SEASON TWO:
Our directors were ALL either women, POC or BOTH
Our writing staff is 50% female and 50% POC & 20% LGBTQIA+
Our guest cast was 61% female & 50% POC & disabled
Inclusive in front of and behind the camera. Watch some episodes tonight!
Fun Fact: Latina, Lupe Hernandez invented hand sanitizer. She was a nurse and realized if you could put alcohol into a gel form it could be used to sanitize hands. So, ya'll got Lupe to thank!
What actor, male, is the perfect level of good looking? Like not too offputtingly handsome. Like the right amount of handsome and also seems fun/funny/goofy?
Casting today. I always want to hug the actors who are great but wrong for the part and say "You are great. You are not this part but you are great." And the ones that nail it...I want to jump out of my seat and say "It's yours! You got it."
And I can't do either.
You got to LA, You did the work, You worked hard for a long time, You finally got a show, It was a critical darling and it STILL got canceled. A THREAD. Here we are. I can’t believe it but it happened. The show I love just got canceled. This happens. This is part of the gig.
Dear Asian and South Asian comedy writers. Hi. I'd like to get to know you. I've found that when I'm staffing you don't get sent to me so I'm doing my own diversity program. To be clear, I'm not staffing anything at the moment. But I do want to be more aware of who is out there!
No new news. But I know you are out there loving us. Supporting us. And that is why we do what we do with such love. For you. So, thank you. More soon.
#SaveODAAT
HUGE favor: If you want to support me & the show then PLEASE watch & tell friends & family to watch at least FOUR episodes in the next few days. Netflix decides what gets picked up based on views. I love this show & love writing this relatable family. PLEASE WATCH! Thank you.
Good morning. Calling all networks...It’s Monday & I have a kickass (100% on
@RottenTomatoes
) show about immigrants, Americans, veterans, Latinos, LGBTQ, family. When people find us they seem to dig us. So...will you light my candle? 🎶
@OneDayAtATime

For too long, I thought I was not allowed to be happy unless I was thin. Every triumph had a cloud over it if the scale didn't have the "right" number. I am now the happiest I have ever been & the heaviest. Now the focus is on health. Don't waste your life not being full of joy.
FURIOUS! Was in a roundtable for a friends movie & out of 20 people there were only 2 Latinx people. When I spoke about some culturally sensitive material, I had 2 WHITE GUYS tell me those things didn't bother them so the filmmakers shouldn't worry about it.
Hold. My Earrings.
Can you guys believe this was my Monday night? Finally met
@Lin_Manuel
& he was as lovely, kind, generous, funny & smart as you would hope + any time with
@melissafumero
is a joy! We plotted.
#saveODAAT
FUN FACT: Rita is looking through my mother's real photo album from her time in Cuba. All of those pictures Rita is looking at are real. They are the ancestors I honor with this show.
Had a moment last night where I finally got to catch up with the hubby & watch
@TheCrownNetflix
when my son bursts into our room, FURIOUS, & says "I know what's going on! We go to bed & you guys watch stuff & have the time of your lives!" & I laughed so hard I fell out of my bed.
Still no news on the fate of
@OneDayAtATime
but did want to share good news you are all a part of. We were the
#1
scripted premiered on CBS in the 25-54 demo.And the
#1
scripted series this season among Hispanic viewers. That is thanks to YOU! No matter what happens...thank you.
Just a late night shout out to anyone having a hard time dealing with family who are into 45. The insane emails, the awful Facebook posts... & your heart hurts cause you remember a time when they were kind to you when you were a kid & it just makes you sad. I see you.
I love this picture. It is the last table read for the final episode of
@OneDayAtATime
season three. Look at that amazing group of people. I must be with them again soon. I think there’s a way…. Thank you
@1JoeyIsabel
for posting!

Professional etiquette: A THREAD
I no longer have time for coffees so I talk to young writers on the phone on my way to meetings. I'm noticing again and again a few things. I want to share them so that you don't do them.
But we go on. We sit in the gratitude of getting to do the thing. And we keep going so that we can hopefully do it again & again. This is the gig. Heartbreak is part of it. But believe in miracles. I do. Good luck!
Just got word that my 3rd pilot isn’t going forward. Three shows & no pickups to a pilot order. This is the gig! Important to share the lows & highs. Onward. The hustle continues. I live to slay dragons tomorrow!
Sadly, the news is out.
I'm not sad just yet, y'all. We still have some hope for new homes. Hang tight, my loves. You know that if I go down, I will go down swinging for this show (& cast & crew) I love.

Good evening, African-American, Black, Afro-Latinx & Indigenous comedy writers & those who love them. I'm told you're "hard to find" & I think, together, we can find each other. Say hi. Tell me about yourself, your journey, do you have reps, how can I help? Excited to meet you!
Last year we hired one new writer on
@OneDayAtATime
we found her through the internet. No agency. She was a fan. She spent 2 years writing, rewriting, doing standup. When an opening happened she was ready with new material. And
@janinebrito
proved to be an incredible addition.
Tonight’s Brooklyn99 is directed by the magical Stephanie Beatriz! And it’s an important
#Metoo
episode, written by Lang Fisher. Let’s give it some💕💕

Ugh.

@GerwigGreta
deserved to be on that list. We want better
@TheAcademy
It’s one thing to say ”we want to honor women and people of color there’s just no work.” Now we have the work. And it’s excellent. So what's the excuse now?
Look at pictures of those times with the amazing
@OneDayAtATime
family. YOU DID THAT. THAT HAPPENED. And it changed your life. So be grateful. How many people get to make shows? You are breathing rarified air. Feel your feelings and then…keep fighting.
Miss Argentina and Miss Puerto Rico announce they are now married.
The couple, Mariana Varela and Fabiola Valentín, kept their relationship a secret since meeting at Miss Grand International 2020.
Hey, networks: How fun would it be if you aired pilots that you own but didn't pickup. America's Best Failed Pilot? You let the audience watch & decide which they like best...then maybe that one gets another shot when this is all over?
Writing, directing and acting in the final episode was a challenge but working with these queens is magic! Fun fact: I had a bride toast that we cut for time! Yep, I basically cut myself out of the finale.
@OneDayAtATime
Fun Facts about the
@OneDayAtATime
opening titles. They are real photos from the lives of my cast & me. The woman getting married is my mother on her wedding day. The quinces is my mom's in Cuba shortly before she left. The real Lydia Riera is standing to the far left.
Talking about mental health in communities of color & helping to destigmatize it in the dominant culture is so important. We love Penelope's journey & her support group of hilarious women. HOping we can continue to shine a light.
#SaveODAAT
When
@OneDayAtATime
was struggling I sent out a mass email to any famous people I knew asking for amplification & love.
@ElizabethBanks
was the first to post. I’ll never forget that kindness. Now it’s our turn. She has a movie. Women at the helm. Go see
@CharliesAngels
❤️👏🏽
Enormous thank you to
@netflix
where the first three season continue to live, to
@PopTV
for reviving us and to
@cbs
for putting us on network!
@OneDayAtATime
lives on!
15 years ago I was an actress auditioning for stereotypical roles that I was often rejected from for some reason or another. So, out of frustration, I started writing. Now I have my own show on
@netflix
with authentic, strong female characters.
@OneDayAtATime
#ShareYourRejection
To the "allies" who told me that they are losing jobs to diversity & there is too much diversity in TV PLEASE look at the winners of tonights Emmy. Who got extensive budgets & campaigns? Still so much work to do for actual equality. Glad to be on the Exec committee to make change
So, yeah, that was more a self-pep talk. But I wanted to share it with you. Luckily, I believe in miracles. So, maybe we’ll find a home somewhere else. I hope we do cause
@mikeroyce
& I have a lot more for these wonderful characters to do.
EXCITING NEWS! 10 of the 13 episodes of season four are broken! It is SO THRILLING to be writing these characters again. Thank you to our fans for fighting for us. We can't wait for you to see these new episodes in March! Not long now!!!
@OneDayAtATime
@PopTV
This is where the REAL test occurs. Where your resilience is tested. Luckily, you’ve had years of hustle. Years of fighting. So, you got this. Be Heartbroken. Feel that. Send your love emails. Call the people you are so grateful to have worked with. Cry. Go for a walk.
To all my non-binary people, I have realized how gendered my language is! Hey guys! Sup dudes. You go, girl! Get it, mama. Yes, sister! Etc. I really notice it when I’m talking to a non-binary friend. I’m so sorry. I’m working on it & I will do better. Love, Glo
Good morning! This thread is for the 40 year old plus writers who are just starting TV/screen writing. I want to know you. Tell me about yourself. Meet one another. Form bonds. Start zoom support groups. Make the world a better place! Let’s go!
Not gonna lie, y'all, this might be it for our little show. So come celebrate with us tonight as we air our season four finale on CBS at 10 & 10:30pm. We'll be LIVE tweeting BOTH coasts. We've loved making this show & we want to celebrate it tonight! Join us!
