Quite the rise.
"Based on her 2013 one-woman stage play, Fleabag is up for 11 Emmys for its second season after being snubbed for its first go-around. The tally includes three for Waller-Bridge — for lead actress, writing and comedy series. And it's not even her only show in the running. As creator of Killing Eve, she's also up for best drama as executive producer on the second season of BBC America's slick spy thriller (after serving as showrunner on its first). Should she score a deuce — admittedly unlikely against HBO heavy hitters Game of Thrones and Veep — Waller-Bridge would join TV legend David E. Kelley, golden boy of the 1999 Emmys with The Practice and Ally McBeal, as the only person ever to sweep genres in the same year. Win or no, it's rarefied air for a woman who was virtually unknown in Hollywood just three years ago."
