Biography
Brett Johnson is an American television writer born on July 16, 1982. His career spans prestige drama across networks: he worked on Ray Donovan and Mad Men, the latter earning him two Writers Guild of America Awards for Best Drama Series. Johnson co-wrote the Mad Men episode "The Grown-Ups" alongside series creator and showrunner Matthew Weiner, a script that earned WGA nomination recognition. The Mad Men writing staff, including Johnson, won the WGA Award for Best Drama Series at the February 2010 ceremony for their third-season contributions. In 2018, Johnson shifted to limited series, serving as co-creator and showrunner of Escape at Dannemora with Michael Tolkin. The miniseries dramatized the real-life 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape and the subsequent manhunt for two convicts in upstate New York. As a Life Path 7, Johnson exhibits the introspective, research-driven instinct typical of writers drawn to complex institutional and criminal narratives. Screenwriters develop dialogue, structure, and character arcs for television and film, a craft Johnson has applied across long-form drama and event television.
