She said:
Promised Land is the epic immigration story; this family is finding their own way towards the American dream and we’re all going along with them.
Young added:
I like to say it’s like Game of Thrones on a vineyard.
Discussing representation, Young explained:
I know it’s fundamental. Matt Lopez, our wonderful creator, he wanted to do something both Steinbeckian, sort of East of Eden, but also pretty much Dallas; he was a big J.R. fan back in the day. But he wanted to tell a story that was authentically Latinx. So on screen, in the writers’ room and our production office and our crew, it’s a very authentic, Latinx-led endeavor because you want to tell it from the inside out.
