Andrew Cosby
Manager: Tarik Heitmann
Andrew Cosby is a screenwriter, producer, showrunner, and comic book creator whose career spans more than two decades of genre-defining work across television, film, and publishing.
Cosby broke onto the scene in 2001 with his first television series, Haunted, followed by Syfy’s award-winning Eureka, which became the highest-rated series in the network’s history over its record-breaking five-season run. As showrunner, Cosby was named a “Hot New Creator” by Cinescape Magazine, a distinction he would continue to earn throughout his career.
His first graphic novel, Damn Nation (Dark Horse Comics), was quickly set up at Paramount Pictures with Cosby attached to write and produce, launching a prolific development career spanning Fox, Disney, Universal, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, New Regency, Spyglass, MGM, HBO/Cinemax, Showtime, Amazon, and more.
In 2005, Cosby co-founded BOOM! Studios, now an award-winning top-10 comic book publisher whose adaptations include Universal Pictures’ 2 Guns, based on the company’s graphic novel.
His subsequent work includes the animated series adaptation of Activision’s Diablo for Netflix, the 2019 reboot of Hellboy, the original WWII series Dogs of War (developed with director Joe Carnahan for MGM/Epix), and a feature adaptation of Strange Brigade for the producer of the Assassin’s Creed and Taken franchises. He has also developed live-action television for both Dungeons & Dragons and Star Wars.
Cosby currently serves as co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of HomeWorld Entertainment, a studio focused on expanding international content and culture. The company is currently developing a major Afro-fantasy franchise alongside Viola Davis and preparing a next-generation relaunch of the global Octonauts brand.
He is also developing original projects with Mechanical Cake, a venture backed by Ridley Scott, across animation, live-action, and feature film.
He has previously served as Chief Creative Officer for the PoC animation studio and sits on the board of Legion M, the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company.
A native of Marietta, Georgia, Cosby studied art and creative writing at the University of Georgia. A self-described “geek of all trades,” he lives in the greater Los Angeles area with his wife and two children, where he spends far too much time watching horror movies and playing video games.
