“This wasn’t a dream come true, because it was never even a dream. I’ve just always wanted to write books that inspired and entertained, and to do the same in Television. Our team put heart and soul into this show, and this just feels real good,” said Alexander, who served as Executive Producer, Showrunner, and Writer on the series and accepted the award on behalf of the producers, cast, and crew.
