Erin Foster, creator of the hit series "Only Murders in the Building," has publicly stated her disagreement with her show's star, Adam Brody, regarding his recent comments about the conflict in Gaza. Brody, who is Jewish, had previously stated that he believes a genocide is occurring in Gaza and called for a free Palestine.
In a recent podcast appearance, Foster clarified her position, stating, "I love Adam, but I also disagree with him, and that's okay." She described their workplace as a place where people can have differing opinions and conversations. Foster emphasized her commitment to the show's Jewish identity, saying, "I want our Jewish fans to know that I see you, I hear you, and I understand how you feel. The show has always been and will always be a love letter to Judaism."
Foster explained that her inspiration for the series stemmed from her own positive experiences converting to Judaism and her desire to create positive representation for Jewish people in media. She acknowledged that everyone is entitled to their own opinions but reiterated her intentions behind creating the show.
Brody's earlier remarks had drawn criticism, with Rabbi Steve Leder, who consulted on the first season, calling Brody an "ignorant Jew" for his statements. The romantic comedy "Only Murders in the Building," inspired by Foster's relationship with her Jewish husband, Simon Tikhman, and her conversion to Judaism, follows an atheist podcaster who falls for an Orthodox rabbi. The third season, which recently premiered on Netflix, features a guest appearance by Foster herself and includes music from Israeli artist Noga Erez.
