In The Seats With...Frank Spotnitz and Steve Thompson and 'Leonardo'

History can be a procedural... A compelling look at one of the most restlessly brilliant men of all time, 'Leonardo' gets inside the mind of the genius, showing the drama behind his art, and exploring a tantalizing mystery left unexplained by biographers – the nature of his relationship with the model Caterina da Cremona. Caterina’s apparent murder – and the painting’s disappearance – make for a mystery full of twists and turns that takes us through the key years of Leonardo’s artistic life, leading to a thrilling climax nearly as ingenious as one of Leonardo’s own creations. Now available via Telus presents, we got the distinct pleasure to sit down with showrunners Frank Spotnitiz and Steve Thompson to talk about the origins of the show, the history behind DaVinci and quite simply what makes a good show.
