I remember hearing that they brought her on the first show to consult but didn't give her any kind of actual authority and she butted heads with them a lot over the story. I've always suspected she suddenly threw a sequel out knowing Hulu would pick it up to try to force the shows narrative in the directions she wanted by forcing it to meet a sequel's plot.

I didn't read the book, sounded awful, but I saw many that did speculating she used a ghost writer. But then again I hated the Oryx and Crake sequels so my feelings about her as a sequel writer are already poor.

I agree with you she was trying to steer the show, but didn't. The book is really disappointing and the writing style is weak, so a ghost writer wouldn't surprise me
