INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER: KERRY EHRIN (The Morning Show, Bates Motel, Friday Night Lights)
The first writer with whom Apple signed an overall deal, Kerry Ehrin developed and ran the Emmy, SAG and Critics Choice Award-winning and multiple Golden Globe-nominated Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, which led the streaming service’s launch. Ehrin was also the co-creator, executive producer, and co-showrunner of the Emmy-nominated and critically acclaimed series “Bates Motel,” which featured Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore in the iconic roles of Norma and Norman Bates, and aired for five seasons on A&E. Prior to that, she was a writer and producer on “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood,” and has received numerous Emmy and WGA nominations, as well as four AFI Awards. A native of Los Angeles, Ehrin studied playwriting at UCLA and was mentored at an early age by the legendary science fiction writer Richard Matheson.
