Jeff Hodsden & Tim Pollock On The Apple TV+ Series “Life By Ella,” Future Creative Projects, & More

In the Apple TV+ series Life By Ella, namesake character Ella returns to school after beating cancer with a brand new perspective, excitement for what the future holds, and a major seize-the-day mentality. With her best friend by her side, she is ready to tackle everything she was too afraid of before and determined not to let the minutia of fake friends and social media status distract her. Created and written by Jeff Hodsden (Bunk’d) and Tim Pollock (Bunk’d), Life By Ella was directed by Emmy Award nominee Linda Mendoza (Ugly Betty, Harlem) and stars Lily Brooks O’Briant (The Big Show Show, The Tick), Artyon Celestine (Drama Club, Claws) and Vanessa Carrasco (Irreplaceable You), with an ensemble cast including Kevin Rahm (Madam Secretary, Mad Men), Mary Faber (Parks & Recreation), Aidan Wallace (You, The Kids Are Alright), Kunal Dudheker (Better Things) and Maya Lynne Robinson (The Connors).

On June 21, 2022, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeff Hodsden and Tim Pollock about the series Life By Ella, which is set to premiere via Apple TV+ on September 2, 2022. That conversation is embedded below for your viewing pleasure. Hodsden and Pollock — also executive producers on Life By Ella — also opened up about other projects they have worked on and future goals for both of them.
