Since apparently we are the only fans left with the ability to verify any type of information, here are the facts:

S1 Credits:

1x01 - Rolin Jones

1x02 - Jonathan Ceniceroz & Dave Harris

1x03 - Rolin Jones & Hannah Moscovitch

1x04 - Eleanor Burgess

1x05 - Hannah Moscovitch

1x06 - Coline Abert

1x07 - Rolin Jones & Ben Philippe

S2 Credits:

2x01: Hannah Moscovitch

2x02: Jonathan Ceniceroz & Shane Munson

2x03: Heather Bellson

2x04: Coline Abert & A. Zell Williams

2x05: Jonathan Ceniceroz & Hannah Moscovitch

2x06: Hannah Moscovitch & Shane Munson

2x07: Kevin Hanna & Rolin Jones

2x08: Rolin Jones

Hannah, Rolin, Coline, and Jonathan were retained from S1 - 2. Eleanor, Ben, and Dave did not return. The first season had 7 writers. The second had 8.

3x01: Rolin Jones & Hannah Moscovitch

3x02: Jonathan Ceniceroz & Kevin Hanna

3x03: Anusree Roy

3x04: Jonathan Ceniceroz

3x05: Hannah Moscovitch & Daniel Hart

3x06: Ryan Kattner & Kevin Hanna

3x07: Hannah Moscovitch

Hannah, Rolin, Kevin, and Jonathan returned for season 3. Heather, Coline, A. Zell, and Shane did not. This season has 7 writers. Of these 7, the only 3 that remain of the season 1 writers room are Rolin, Hannah, and Jonathan.

You can definitely say the writers who have been retained from season 1 to season 3 are the strongest writers if you want to. I absolutely think that Jonathan and Hannah are two of the strongest writers. I can’t say Rolin is my favorite. But they definitely lost a lot of wonderful writers season to season and I think that is very much felt.

I also want to start off referencing a quote that screenwriter-director Nida Manzoor made where she talked about being in white-dominated writers rooms where she felt she was there to just sign-off on what they were writing. And what a difference it was when she was able to set up her own writers room, especially in season 2 of We Are Lady Parts, where every writer was a Muslim woman.

If you're not familiar with how writers rooms work, you might think every episode is created by the person credited with the script. (Flashback to the Buffy fandom where Marti Nixon was blamed for every single thing in the Joss Whedon is God days.) But the whole point of a writers room is that everyone breaks the episode beats together, and it is headed by the showrunners.

Now let's look at the racial breakdown of that IWTV writers room again

1x01 - Rolin Jones (white)

1x02 - Jonathan Ceniceroz & Dave Harris (Latino and Black)

1x03 - Rolin Jones & Hannah Moscovitch (white and white)

1x04 - Eleanor Burgess (white)

1x05 - Hannah Moscovitch (white)

1x06 - Coline Abert (white)

1x07 - Rolin Jones & Ben Philippe (white and Black)

2x01: Hannah Moscovitch (white)

2x02: Jonathan Ceniceroz & Shane Munson (Latino and white)

2x03: Heather Bellson (white)

2x04: Coline Abert & A. Zell Williams (white and Black)

2x05: Jonathan Ceniceroz & Hannah Moscovitch (Latino and white)

2x06: Hannah Moscovitch & Shane Munson (white and white)

2x07: Kevin Hanna & Rolin Jones (white and white)

2x08: Rolin Jones (white)

3x01: Rolin Jones & Hannah Moscovitch (white and white)

3x02: Jonathan Ceniceroz & Kevin Hanna (Latino and white)

3x03: Anusree Roy (Indian-Canadian)

3x04: Jonathan Ceniceroz (Latino)

3x05: Hannah Moscovitch & Daniel Hart (white and white)

3x06: Ryan Kattner & Kevin Hanna (Wasian and white)

3x07: Hannah Moscovitch (white)

So - not a single Black writer has been given solo credit on any episode. None of them have ever made it beyond one season into a writers room. Of the non-Black writers of colour, Jonathan Ceniceroz is the only one who has written for all 3 seasons, and he only got solo credit for one episode this season. Anusree Roy being the only other non-white writer to get a solo credit. Ryan Kattner probably contributed most to song lyrics, since he's a musician who is also acting in the show.

The show runners and producers are all white.

Just want to add: even though A. Zell Williams wasn't credited in Season 1, he was part of the mini room (a smaller writers' room format so the network can have a draft of a first season without spending that much money prior the series being greenlit. This practice was erased after the WGA strike in 2023) for that season. He said this on his podcast. He was then promoted for S2.

Lestat was called a slavemaster in 1x2--(WAY before Claudia was even a thought)--and LOUIS of all people was the one who clocked his tea!

I love that scene so much, cuz it told me eeeeeeeeverything I needed to know about Lestat's character, and he hasn't proven me wrong yet (*cough* The Trial *cough*). Then immediately after that we also got The Coffin Scene right after:

And like I said: WHEN has Lestat EVER killed anyone because they disrespected Louis? 🤨 Cuz if that was the case, Lestat should've BEEN killed HIMSELF a LONG time ago--whatchumean "IF"?! 🙄😤

In 3x4 Lestat was hypocritical AF getting all up in Armand's face about him being the Coven Master who gets to decide who lives & dies--when Claudia told Lestat to Kill Antoinette to make his family happy with him, and he refused to do it--and LIED to them about her finger! (Hallucination!Magnus confirms he took her finger--so if it's not a continuity error, then Lestat probably gave her a new finger when she became a vamp or wtvr. 🤷‍♂️)

Lestat was more concerned with how Antoinette could nuzzle his "immortal erection" & fill the gaping hole Louis/GabriellA left cuz he hates being abandoned & ignored; than concerning himself over how he made LOUIS feel & fed Louis' low self-esteem & inadequacy as Lestat's "botched fledgling, afraid to disappoint" --these themes were ALL established in was ALL in 1x2; yet people wanna talk about "laying breadcrumbs & planting seeds" about bullcrap that ain't even turn out to be true, LOL, STFU.

Lestat and his nasty effing father/Maker's temper breathed hellfire down Louis' neck since day one about how HE decided Louis should live & behave; what he should eat (and even who he should have sex with--from 1x3 with Jonah & the soldiers, all the way down to 3x2 with his remarks about Santiago, Armand & Lemuel). It's PATTERNS of behavior. Rolin & Jacob confirmed everything I've BEEN saying about how dang IGNORANT some people in this fandom are when they act like this isn't "The Race Show", or that Lestat "understood" Louis' struggles as a Black man--WHY vampirism was so disappointing for Louis.

Louis' always been deeply in love with Lestat, but by 1x6 he'd been figuratively AND literally beaten down so much that he just accepted Lestat's bullcrap, "sit in your choice;" making 1000 excuses for Lestat's behavior. But Queen Claudia repeatedly called Lestat Massa (even TO HIS FACE)--BEFORE she took Louis to the hotel to spy on Lestantoinette, BEFORE she ran away & the Train Scene, BEFORE the Murder Plot!

Everyone keeps gushing about how much Lestat & Claudia understood each other & how similar they were, meanwhile IGNORING Claudia every time she called Lestat on his bullcrap, BECAUSE she understood PRECISELY what his malfunction was. Lestans & Louis-antis always listen to Claudia when she's got bad things to say about LOUIS, but it's crickets when LESTAT gets her lashes, huh? 🤡 LOL.

Like Queen Claudia said--

--and that stupidity applies to Louis just as much as it applies to the Lestans who insist on burying their heads in the sand, stuffing cotton in their ears when people talk on the fine nuances of race on this show that they'd prefer to pretend doesn't exist, cuz it "sucks the fun out of the fandom" or wtvr. As if RACISM is supposed to be fun(ny), LOL.

In 2026, Ilia Malinin made headlines for landing a backflip at the Winter Olympics after the move was officially re-approved under updated competition rules.

But this moment did not come out of nowhere.

In 1998, Black Olympic skater Surya Bonaly executed a one-foot backflip at the Nagano Winter Olympics, officials had deemed the move unacceptable at the time. She completed it, on one blade, in an iconic defiance of standards that repeatedly limited her innovation and expression.

What governing bodies labeled as “not allowed” in 1998 is now celebrated as history-making in 2026.

Bonaly’s backflip wasn’t a mistake or a gimmick. It was skill, athleticism, and vision, long before the sport was willing to reward it. And while rules may change, her contribution should not be erased or reframed as an afterthought.

This moment isn’t about taking anything away from today’s athletes.

While Ilia Malinin is being credited with making Olympic history in 2026, the truth is that Surya Bonaly made that history in 1998.

Fandom person: So, you are a pickme.

Me:

AHHHHHHH!! Guys the rac*sts are back at it and being upset and irritated by Syd's character. You know, for us, the viewers it's been a year since everything transpired but in the show's canon, it's been less than 24hrs, correct? You know Goodbye is the first real time we see them put a name to some of the dynamic that's been playing out with sydcarmy for the entirety of the show but of course to people who hate black female characters for having flaws, that's the worst thing you can be so they have to nitpick her to hell and back. Like I can't with these people.

"Sydney always bothered me for some reason...this scene kind of explains why..." no, she bothered you 'for some reason' because you're probably racist and you hate any sort of black female character who have been sort of screwed over and when she was thinking 'finally, this could be something,' the rug gets pulled out from under her. I mean she's literally using the wall at the beginning of Goodbye almost like a crutch and is being guarded and closed off once again but you see none of this registers to racist people. they just see 1 flaw and they have to scream, cry, and have full blown crash outs. When all is said and done, Syd has been used SEVERAL TIMES in the narrative as someone who's compassionate and feeling and wants to care for people and all the other good things but GOD FORBID... like fr GOD FORBID she has flaws too then she's gotta be a bitch and 'you've always hated something about her' like LMAO gtfoh.

"How I hate Sydney." WOW!! What an insightful comment. Truly, outstanding job 🙄

"Sydney tends to assert herself when she's not in charge, but when it's her turn, she does what she did here: Lashing out, deflecting, and hoping the fallout isn't too bad." Again, am I the only one not seeing an issue with this? Syd is supposed to have flaws. Characters without flaws make for very boring characters and most people don't like or want to root for that. This is like storytelling 101. Also, that isn't what's going on here. In this scene, she's in charge of the restaurant, it is now hers. She's feeling flustered with everything that's going on post Goodbye. Like yes the conversation they've had which I must repeat, they did not get to finish. On top of all that, we also have the rain and everything going wrong on this day. Like, damn forgive a girl for being flustered and feeling the pressure is on. And we know her and Carm being from the world of fine dining, pressure is a big thing for them. Like what's not clicking to these people? Also, she didn't deflect LMAO. She had a slight lash out but again within context, it's 100% understandable why she did that. Lastly, she apologized to Carm after that saying she didn't mean for it to come out that way. Funny how they conveniently forget that part. I really can't with these people. Came to rant on here instead of going back and forth with the weirdos😭

He said the food overall was truly exceptional. And creative. He said the talent here is undeniable. That there's a scallop dish he hasn't been able to stop thinking about and the hospitality was beautiful. He said the room felt alive without being precious or try-hard.
