Will Tracy is an Emmy-winning writer and producer. He wrote the screenplay for BUGONIA, the latest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. The film is based on a South Korean film, and it follows two conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap the CEO of a powerful company, believing her to be an alien responsible for environmental collapse and the dying of the bees. 

Prior to this in film, he co-wrote and executive-produced THE MENU –we interviewed his co-writer Seth Reiss back in Episode 667– and served as a writer and executive producer on the HBO series Succession, earning three Emmy Awards and a Writers Guild Award for the episode “Tern Haven.” 

In this interview, we talk about Will’s start at THE ONION and his time working on the HBO drama SUCCESSION, his latest film BUGONIA, and much more.
