Mar­lene Melchior

Mar­lene Mel­chi­or wrote on inter­na­tion­al smash hit MAX­TON HALL sea­sons 1 & 2 as well as the highly anti­cip­ated Sea­son 3. She was head writer on both sea­sons of LOV­ING HER (ZDF Neo/​Canal +). She has just fin­ished devel­op­ing her own ori­gin­al series with Net­flix and was an epis­ode writer on Prime/MGM’s erot­ic romantic com­edy THE GAME OF KEYS about the sex lives of a group of 30 something’s. Mar­lene prides her­self on know­ing the romance genre back to front, but along side romance has also writ­ten, crime, hor­ror and fantasy. In 2020 she wrote and dir­ec­ted MAK­ING UNORTHO­DOX as an accom­pa­ny­ing doc­u­ment­ary to the Emmy Award win­ning series UNORTHO­DOX. The short doc was watched by over 125 mil­lion people on Net­flix and then re-edited for ABC (US) prime­time as a stand-alone piece. Her first web­ser­ies BIG­HEADS, made without budget or pro­du­cers, garnered mul­tiple prizes includ­ing Ber­lin Webfest’s ‘Best Female Com­edy’ and Brook­lyn Webfest’s ‘She Award’ for Best Woman’s Com­edy and a UK RAIND­ANCE nom­in­a­tion for ‘Best Inter­na­tion­al Series.’ She cur­rently lives in Ber­lin with her young family.
