Jon Cooksey is a showrunner and architect of multiplatform story universes who has shaped iconic entertainment in all genres of film, television and digital that has resonated with millions of viewers across the globe. His work has won or been nominated for Emmy, Humanitas, Gemini, Leo, Cable Ace and Canadian Screen Awards in TV, plus numerous awards for his comedic feature documentary about saving civilization, How to Boil a Frog.

Jon infuses his cutting edge TV work with a depth of influences that enrich his storytelling in genres ranging from comedies to YA thrillers to family dramas. From his seminal work as head writer/showrunner on Rugrats (both TV and feature), to his genre work on shows like Primeval: New World, SPIDES and Killjoys, Jon has focused intensively on stories that will capture the Millennial and now Gen Z demographics, with all the diversity and social awareness that requires.

He recently produced season 2 of the award-winning web series Narcoleap and as of mid-2022 is shopping 2 pilots, one for the hour dramedy series The Studio for David Brady Productions, the other for the half-hour comedy Hood Island for Productions Wojack. He's also writer and story architect for the Events at Unity Farm VR game with Titan1 Studios in Toronto, due to be released in late 2022. Credits as TV showrunner include Arctic Air, Shattered, The Best Years and his original series The Collector. He's developed 18 pilots for various prodcos and networks, including Comedy Central, FX and ITV (UK), and has run series for Disney Channel and Nickelodeon in the US, for Rogers, Global, CBC and Space in Canada. Altogether he's produced over 150 hours of TV.

On the feature side, Jon has tended toward historical fiction. He's recently written Los Angeles: Being the True Story of the largest Lynching in the History of America, and the birth of a City, about the mystery behind the Chinatown Massacre of 1871, based on IP. Other recent feature scripts include The Oracle's Wife, a biopic about M. King Hubbert, one of the great minds of the 20th century who foresaw the end of the Oil Age, and Hindenburg LZ-129, a film noir thriller that uses the famous disaster as a springboard.

In general Jon's goal is to break the boundaries of current entertainment silos, creating broad audiences across multiple platforms (XR, games, TV/digital series, movies, live events, musical theatre, storyworlds, theme park rides, etc.), with stories that have an international appeal.

Jon is repped by Bob Getman at Jackoway Tyerman Wertheimer. He's a dual citizen, an environmental consultant, has a degree in economics from Stanford, and is a member of the WGA, WGC and WGGB.
