Two Brothers Pictures, founded by writers and showrunners Harry and Jack Williams in 2014, has announced significant expansions to its scripted team as the multi-award-winning production company heads into its tenth successful year.

Key to the newly bolstered team is Drama Executive Daisy Mount, who joins All3Media’s Two Brothers from Prime Video where, as creative executive for scripted, she led on tentpole thrillers The Rig and BAFTA-winning Wilderness and was at the heart of building the UK slate including multi-award-winning Jungle, International Emmy-nominated The Devil’s Hour and Jez Butterworth’s critically acclaimed Mammals.
Daisy will serve as executive producer on upcoming projects to deliver on Two Brothers Pictures’ long history of producing award-winning, compelling, propulsive drama. Daisy will be steering the drama slate with a focus on generating ideas from established and new talent with the balance of stylistic ingenuity, quality and populist appeal that has been the benchmark of Two Brothers work to date.

Always utterly original in their output and always rooted with a commercial sensibility that I love. I look forward to building out what is already an impressive slate into one that is competitive and exciting for the domestic and international TV audience.”
Leading comedy producer Katie Churchill steps into the new role of Comedy Executive to continue and grow the company’s historic, award-winning comedy slate after executive producing Dinosaur alongside Sarah Hammond for Hulu & the BBC. Previously at Sky Studios and Tiger Aspect, Katie produced Lazy Susan for the BBC, Simon Amstell’s Netflix special Set Free and a Peter Capaldi directed comedy-drama pilot starring Anne-Marie Duff, as well as serving as an Executive Producer on Sky Studios’ Sky Comedy Shorts.

Dovetailing both drama and comedy will be Cleo Hetherington who joins as Head of Development from Drama Republic where she previously acted as Head of Development and script executive. Cleo aims to galvanise a unique and exciting slate, continuing to focus on both international limited and returning series whilst putting writers’ voices at the centre to tell entertaining and distinctive stories.

It’s a properly exciting time for the company and I am thrilled to be a part of it.”
