Showrunning with the Bit Magicians: Ayesha Carr & Paul Hunter Unwrap “Government Cheese”

#GovernmentCheese isn’t just a reference to the low-cost, highly-processed, nutrient-poor imitation cheese once distributed to low-income Americans. It’s also the title of a bold, surrealist family comedy that flips expectations and genre conventions. Set in 1969, the series is the brainchild of writer Ayesha Carr (The Carmichael Show, Rel) and visionary music video director Paul Hunter, known for his work with artists like Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, and Jennifer Lopez.
