Shawna Benson

Born on the same day three years apart, Shawna and her sister Julie grew up in Illinois with access to their father’s Silver Age comic collection and a mutual love of TV & Film, particularly, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, John Wayne westerns, and Katharine Hepburn comedies.

The sisters joined forces, and after their first TV pilot script was optioned by Kevin Costner, they wrote together on Pemberley Digital’s Emmy-winning webseries, EMMA APPROVED. They wrote on three seasons of the CW’s action-packed sci-fi show, THE 100 and penned issues of Batgirl and the Birds of Prey as well as Green Arrow for DC Comics.

Most recently they were writer/producers for Netlflix's WU ASSASSINS and Nickelodeon's Emmy-nominated animated series STAR TREK: PRODIGY.
