Biography
Elizabeth Meriwether is an American writer, producer, and television showrunner born in 1981. She rose to prominence creating New Girl, the Fox sitcom centered on an eccentric woman navigating Los Angeles life and friendship. Before that breakout, she wrote the play Oliver Parker! and the 2011 romantic comedy No Strings Attached, establishing her voice in character-driven comedy. After New Girl's run, Meriwether expanded into prestige television: she created Single Parents and Bless This Mess for ABC, then pivoted to documentary-style drama with The Dropout and Dying for Sex for Hulu—both exploring real-world scandals and moral complexity. Her Life Path number 22 (the Master Builder) reflects her capacity to architect entire fictional worlds across multiple networks and formats. Screenwriters typically develop material through pitches, rewrites, and production oversight; Meriwether's dual role as creator and showrunner means she shapes tone, casting, and final edits across seasons. Based in the US, she operates within American television's network and streaming ecosystem.
