Greg Daniels

Greg’s career in TV reads like a pop cultural road map. He started as a writer and earned an Emmy Award for his work on Saturday Night Live. He wrote for The Simpsons and then Seinfeld. He was a series co-creator of King of the Hill. His adaptation of The Office won a staggering Six Primetime Emmy Awards and garnered forty-two nominations.  His show Parks and Recreation similarly was nominated for 14 Emmy Awards and won a Golden Globe Award.  

By breaking the rules of traditional comedy, Greg became the architect of the smart modern American sitcom. As a director, Greg has shaped series like Hello Ladies for HBO, The Mindy Project and People of Earth, as well as his own shows, which include Space Force for Netflix, the sci-fi comedy Upload for Amazon MGM Studios, and the dating series My Mom, Your Dad for HBO Max. 

Under his newly-launched animation company, Bandera, co-founded with Mike Judge, is the new Netflix animated series Exploding Kittens and the King of The Hill reboot. Greg is also writing and producing alongside Sacha Baron Cohen the animated series Chelm: The Smartest Place on Earth for HBO Max. 

Next up for Greg: The Paper, the much anticipated follow-up to the iconic show The Office. The new mockumentary will focus on a historic Midwestern newspaper struggling to stay afloat. The publisher tries to revive it with the help of volunteer reporters. The cast includes Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, with the possibility of cameos from original Office cast members.
