Misha Green is showrunner, writer, executive producer and director of HBO’s Lovecraft Country. The one-hour drama series which was given a straight-to-series order, is also executive produced by Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams. Based on the novel of the same name by Matt Ruff, the 10-episode series follows Atticus Freeman as he journeys with his childhood friend Letitia and his uncle George on a road trip from Chicago across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father Montrose. Their search-and-rescue turns into a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and monstrous creatures that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback.

Prior to Lovecraft Country, Green was co-creator, executive producer and a writer on the series Underground, which chronicled the lives of slaves in 1857 Georgia, who escape bondage to find freedom with the help of members of the Underground Railroad. Underground was the first scripted US television drama series with the focus on slavery and the Underground Railroad.

Underground broke ratings records for WGN during its first season by outpacing the network’s prior season ratings by more than 500% in total viewers and 1,005% among adults 18-49 in live-plus-seven viewing.  The show was honored with four NAACP Image Awards nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series. Additionally, the African American Film Critics Association named Underground as Best Cable/New Media TV show of 2016. The series was nominated for a TCA Award for Outstanding New Program by the Television Critics Association and was also a finalist for the Cynopsis TV Awards in the categories of Best New TV Drama, Best TV Drama, Best Series Writing, and Best Showrunner.  

Most recently Netflix made a seven-figure deal to buy Misha’s feature spec script, The Mother, an action story in the vein of The Professional and Wanted, about an assassin who will stop at nothing to save the estranged daughter she gave up years prior.  Misha will serve as a producer on the project.  

Green is also known for writing episodes of Sons of Anarchy, Spartacus, and Heroes, as well as producing Helix. She is a graduate of NYU Tish School of the Arts.
