Frances McDormand Calls On Social Media To Press HBO For More 'Olive Kitteridge' Episodes After Big Night At 2015 Emmys

"Olive Kitteridge" cleaned up at the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday. The HBO mini-series about a woman struggling with depression in a small town in Maine won six awards, including Outstanding Limited Series or TV Movie and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie. Bolstered by the show's big night, actress Frances McDormand, who won Emmys Sunday for both producing and starring in the four-episode series, called on fans to push HBO to produce more episodes in the future.

In the press room after her wins, McDormand told reporters, including International Business Times' Monica Castillo, that she wanted fans on social media to put the pressure on the premium cable outlet to adapt more of the short stories from the Elizabeth Strout novel on which the series is based. There are 13 short stories in the book, but HBO chose to adapt just four.

"So [screenwriter Jane Anderson] actually wrote six hours and HBO placed an order for four, but we would love to do more," said McDormand. "So, I would like you to all start a social media campaign so we can film more of the short stories from 'Olive Kitteridge.' Wouldn't that be fun?"

McDormand also said her admiration for Strout's book was the key selling point in her joining the project.

"It's a really good story -- 13 short stories -- that Elizabeth Strout wrote in the novel 'Olive Kitteridge.' It was infinitely exciting to read and I thought that it could be a great town to spend some time in, so it wasn't necessarily the character, but it was the whole town of Crosby, Maine."
