Deep Dive: Emma Norton on producing The Dry & Normal People and working with Alexander Skarsgaard on Pillion

This week's Deep Dive is an in-depth interview with the fantastic producer Emma Norton who has worked on shows like Normal People, and films like The Souvenir Pt II and Pillion. She's the exec producer of The Dry, which is airing its third season on RTÉ One right now (Thursdays at 10.15pm, or you can binge-watch on RTÉ Player). It's a fascinating insight into all the work it takes to exec-produce something, including how it felt to work with the "enigmatic" Alexander Skarsgaard.
