An award-winning actor. In demand, accomplished writer. Producer. And now showrunner, Kathleen Robertson is the definition of a multi-hyphenate.
As an actor, she was just added to the cast of the highly anticipated sixth and final season of the critically acclaimed Amazon series The Expanse. Robertson also recently wrapped production on Triage for ABC/Disney and director Jon Chu (Crazy Rich Asians). In addition, she appears in the Lionsgate series Swimming with Sharks opposite Diane Kruger, Kiernen Shipka and Donald Sutherland, a project for which she also created, produced and was showrunner.
Robertson also starred on the Netflix drama Northern Rescue, the critically acclaimed TNT crime drama Murder in the First opposite Taye Diggs for three seasons and had a pivotal, recurring role opposite Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore on A&E's Emmy nominated Bates Motel. She also garnered much attention for her starring role on the Gus Van Sant, Golden Globe-winning political drama, Boss, as the brilliant, broken and duplicitous Kitty O'Neill, Mayor Tom Kane's (Kelsey Grammer) press aide. On the writing and producing front, Robertson and her production company Debut Content continue to build an impressive slate of both television and feature film projects.
On the television side, in a highly competitive situation, Robertson signed an overall deal with Universal Cable Productions (UCP) to both create and produce original content. She also has projects with Netflix, Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), Jason Bateman's Aggregate Films, Imagine Television, and acclaimed Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Cecil Hotel/The Ted Bundy Tapes.)
On the feature side, she is writing Flight for Paramount Pictures and Academy Award winner Akiva Goldsman.
She also recently completed adapting the acclaimed novel The Possibilities for Fox Searchlight and Academy Award nominated filmmaker Jason Reitman who is attached to direct. Reitman has also attached himself to direct the TV pilot Your Time is Up that Robertson wrote and is attached to star in. In addition, she adapted the novel Little Bee for Amazon and Academy Award winning actress Julia Roberts. Robertson was also recently brought on to adapt the comic book series Lady Killer for Dark Horse with Michelle Mac Laren (Westworld/Game of Thrones) directing.
A native of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Robertson currently resides in Los Angeles.
