Jeremy Svenson
Jeremy recently sold a legal drama pitch to ABC, that’s in development for 2026. He also sold crime procedural to ABC in 2024. Credits include Good Sam (CBS), BH90210 (FOX), and Rizzoli & Isles (TNT) as well as the Game of Thrones interactive story (Telltale Games).
Jeremy grew up in San Diego on a diet of baja fish tacos and bean and cheese burritos, an addiction that has kept tethered to Southern California his whole life. Fortunately, his other passion — storytelling — has allowed him to find a career in that delicious part of the country writing and producing for television.
He recently sold an original pitch to ABC for a family legal drama that’s in development for the 2026 broadcast season. This marks his second sale to Disney/ABC after selling a high concept crime procedural in 2024 that’s currently being taken out to streamers. He also has a streaming sci-fi series in development with Cognito Entertainment.
Jeremy has over a decade of experience in writers rooms, including writing and producing episodes for the shows Good Sam (CBS), BH90210 (FOX), and Rizzoli & Isles (TNT), in addition to writing on podcasts and for the Game of Thrones video game. Having lived half his life in the closet, he’s drawn to stories about otherness and identity, exploring those character dilemmas across a spectrum of genres from the intimate to the epic.
Before “making it” as a full-time TV writer, Jeremy worked in development at the ABC Studios POD Random Hill Productions where the company sold 11 shows to broadcast and cable buyers during his time there. Prior to that, he worked as an assistant in the writers rooms of Designated Survivor (ABC/Netflix), Kevin Can Wait (CBS), King & Maxwell (TNT), and The King of Queens (CBS).
Outside of television, Jeremy co-produced a standup comedy special for Joe Rogan, and worked for Kevin James’s Hey Eddie Productions through the development and release of feature films Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Zookeeper, and Here Comes the Boom. He was featured on The Tracking Board’s Young and Hungry list and was a finalist in the 2017 Warner Bros. TV Writers’ Workshop.

This class helped me organize my thoughts and create a solid script.

I highly recommend this class to anyone who is serious about completing a TV pilot.
