Hi, I’m Andrew Emerson. I’m a TV writer and head writer with a track record of developing and delivering creative, kid-friendly series for major studios including Magic Light Pictures, Beano/CBBC, DreamWorks, and Netflix. I’ve led writers’ rooms on shows like Zog, The Woohoos!, Pip & Posy, Numberblocks, and Dennis & Gnasher Unleashed, translating books and properties into engaging episodes and storylines. I’m passionate about character-driven storytelling, pilot development, and collaborating with global teams to turn ideas into memorable television and stage projects. My work spans TV, development, and live theatre, and I enjoy shaping robust pipelines from concept to script.
