Episode 194: Bump by Georgia Pritchett This month’s dead pilot is Bump , written by Emmy and WGA Award–winning writer Georgia Pritchett . Georgia is widely known for her work on Veep and Succession , and has also written for The Thick of It and Avenue 5 . She served as creator and showrunner on The Shrink Next Door and is the author of the memoir My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety . Bump follows a British couple coming to America to meet their surrogate, since surrogacy is illegal in the UK, only to discover she’s very different from what they imagined. The pilot blends emotional stakes with sharp, unexpected comedy in a way that feels very much in line with Georgia’s writing style.
