Episodes Broadcast: 2024
Julie Anne Robinson's upbringing involved time spent not only in her
native England, but also Africa and Papua New Guinea. She got her
professional start working in the theatre, including with the Royal
Shakespeare Company, and she subsequently directed nearly a dozen
Shakespearean works via her own company, The Factory. Around the turn of
the century, Robinson enrolled in the BBC directors' training course.
She was soon working on programmes such as Doctors,
Blackpool and Holby City; she earned her first producing
credits on the latter as well. Around the mid-2000s, Robinson sought
work in Hollywood, and she began directing for the likes of Grey's
Anatony, Weeds and Pushing Daisies.
Now working primarily in the United States, Robinson's television
credits during the 2010s included Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
Suburgatory, Manhattan and The Good Place. Her
first feature film was 2010's The Last Song starring Miley Cyrus;
the Katherine Heigl vehicle One For The Money followed in 2012.
Robinson founded CannyLads Productions, and she collaborated with
Victoria Fea to form the British-based Longboat Pictures. By the
mid-2010s, she was regularly earning executive producer credits,
initially on the pilot episode of Selfie starring former
Doctor Who companion Karen Gillan. Amongst the other shows on
which Robinson worked in this capacity were I Feel Bad -- for
which she was also a director -- and The Catch. During the
Twenties, her projects included episodes of Bridgerton and
Partner Track. Robinson made a rare return to the United Kingdom
to direct for Doctor Who's 2024 season, featuring Ncuti Gatwa as
the Fifteenth Doctor. Her work included the premiere episode, Space Babies, and the taut Boom.
