She said, "It's hard for me to do series because I'm still very present with my daughter and my husband and my dogs, and the house...and so I can't, even though I'm trying to carve out more space, I can't like say, 'OK, bye. I'm gonna do a series. See you in three months, in four months.' I just can't."  Black Mirror  was an exception in this case as Hayek starred in a single episode.
