Full Bio:
Married writing team Kat Likkel and John Hoberg have been professional screenwriters for over 25 years. They’ve written half hours, features, dramas, and are currently in development on a stage musical with the Michael Cassel group. In addition to that, Kat and John recently set up a fairytale musical series at Disney+ with Dan Fogelman producing and music & lyrics by Alen Menken and Glenn Slater. Additionally, over the past few years, John has been serving as EP/Co-Showrunner on Hulu’s Emmy nominated hit drama series “Paradise,” and Kat has recently finished her first novel which is out to publishers. Before that they spent nearly 3 years working at Pixar writing the Academy Award nominated movie “Elemental,” and have a long list of television credits including shows like “My Name is Earl,” “black-ish” and the medieval musical comedy “Galavant” as well as cult hits like “Better off Ted” and “Downward Dog” -- the first network half hour to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. They split time between Pasadena, and Solvang, CA where they have 6 goats... let’s just say their pandemic got weird.
