Featuring Kayla Alpert, Executive Producer of Netflix's global phenomenon "Wednesday"

“I find social media to be a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation.” - Wednesday Addams

In an era where artificial intelligence and online distribution accelerate, democratize, and expand the reach of content creation, how do master storytellers thrive? In this Forecast, we will feature Kayla Alpert, the visionary executive producer behind one of Netflix's most culturally defining series.

Wednesday didn't just break records—it spent 20 weeks on the Global Top 10 and reached the Top 10 in 93 countries with 252.10 million views, becoming a cultural phenomenon that redefined how gothic storytelling resonates with global audiences. Working alongside legendary director Tim Burton and starring Jenna Ortega, Alpert helped craft a series that seamlessly blended classic horror sensibilities with contemporary themes to widespread acclaim.

With over two decades of experience producing acclaimed television including Ally McBeal, Code Black, and Up All Night, Alpert brings a unique perspective on how AI is transforming not just the tools of storytelling, but the very nature of creative collaboration. As entertainment executives grapple with AI's role in scriptwriting, character development, visual creation, and audience engagement, few leaders have navigated these waters with Alpert's combination of creative instinct and technological savvy.

Join us with your questions around what defines true creativity where imagination meets artificial intelligence and the future of the entertainment industry.
