In an interview with The New York Times, Fillinger (The Morning Show) said that she started writing POTUS six years ago, adding of her inspiration, "For years, we're had this endless cycle of headlines about powerful men abusing their power, and each time I was fascinated by the women orbiting the men and enabling them."

"The more I started to think about these women, the farce started to write itself," she said.

According to Fillinger, 28, POTUS is not based on one specific individual but "an amalgamation of many men in power."

"I set it in the White House because that's the highest office in the land, but you could set it in any company and any institution and many homes," she told the Times.

POTUS will begin preview performances on Broadway at the Shubert Theater on April 14, before an official opening on May 9, according to the Times.
