Emerald Fennell | Writer / Director / Producer
Emerald Fennell is an Emmy® nominated writer, director, actress and author who has established herself as a prolific multihyphenate in theater, film and television.
On December 25th, Fennell’s new film, which she wrote and directed, PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN will be released by Focus Features both domestically and internationally. The film was recognized as one of the top scripts of the 2018 Blacklist.
Fennell can currently be seen in Season 3 of The Crown playing Camilla Parker Bowles, for which she’s receiving rave reviews. Prior to that, she served as Head Writer on Season 2 of “Killing Eve,” for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe. She is currently writing a contemporary musical stage version of Cinderella alongside Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Fennell’s debut short, Careful How You Go, which she wrote and directed, premiered at Sundance in 2019. Previously, she sold a pilot, Space Bound, to Fox with Gail Berman attached as the producer.
Fennell has published three novels: Shiverton Hall along with the sequel, The Creeper, and 2017 Carnegie Medal nominee Monsters, all of which were incredibly well-received and drew comparisons ranging from Roald Dahl to Bret Easton Ellis.
Her recent on-camera film credits include The Danish Girl, Pan and Anna Karenina.

Writer / Director Emerald Fennell on Bo Burnham: “His normality and charm and the kind of life that he offers Cassie is so beguiling, obviously, we needed somebody really deeply charming and charismatic to play Ryan.”
“I really wanted to write a film about female revenge,” says Writer / Director Emerald Fennell.

"Generally, how I approach everything, is if I could imagine someone else playing the part and be all right with it, then I tend to not do it," Carey Mulligan says of her character in Emerald Fennell.

“I think people are looking to see female characters do more than just answer a phone or look sexy in a bikini, so really, whether it’s an amazing assassin or a young woman who is trying to rectify something in her past, I think generally speaking, there is still regrettably a dearth of great stuff for women to do. So yeah, I think that’s what it is.” – Director #EmeraldFennell on writing strong female stories that resonate with audiences.@promisingyoungwoman
