Production
The TV series was largely developed by Tom Hanks and Erik Jendresen, who spent months detailing the plot outline and individual episodes. Steven Spielberg's role primarily consisted of being "the final eye" on the series and using Saving Private Ryan, the film on which he and Hanks worked together earlier, as a template for the series. The accounts of Easy Company veterans, such as Donald Malarkey, were later used in production to add as much detail as possible.
