Juliette Howell is the co-CEO of House Productions, the film and television production company she launched in 2016 with her business partner Tessa Ross. The company now sits within the heart of global content company BBC Studios’ portfolio of indies. For the small screen they recently produced two series of critically acclaimed, BAFTA-winning BBC phenomenon “Sherwood” as well as “Brexit: The Uncivil War,” an Emmy-nominated telefilm for Channel 4 and HBO starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Both projects were written by award-winning writer James Graham. The company’s other recent TV productions include “The Good Mothers,” a six-part Star Original for Disney+ that won the inaugural Best Series Award at Berlinale 2023; “Six Four,” an intense crime thriller for U.K. streamer ITVX; and “Life After Life,” a four-part drama based on the bestselling novel by Kate Atkinson.

House Productions’ recent film slate includes Andrea Arnold’s new drama Bird, starring Barry Keoghan; Sebastián Lelio’s BAFTA-nominated feature The Wonder, starring Florence Pugh; The Iron Claw, written and directed by Sean Durkin; and Daniel Kokotajlo’s Starve Acre, a stylistic modern horror film based on the novel by Andrew Michael Hurley.

Before setting up House, Juliette Howell spent five years as Working Title’s Head of Television. There she established the U.K. production arm in 2010 and oversaw a raft of acclaimed drama series, films and comedy. These titles include BAFTA winners “London Spy” and “Birdsong” for the BBC, the BBC/HBO film “Mary and Martha” and Sky’s hit comedy series “Yonderland.” Howell also oversaw the hugely ambitious, ratings-winning miniseries “You, Me and the Apocalypse” for Sky/NBC.

Prior to joining WTTV, Howell was an executive producer within the BBC Drama Commissioning Group, overseeing a slate of films for BBC2’s ’80s season (including Abi Morgan’s “Royal Wedding” and Tony Basgallop’s Boy George biopic “Worried About the Boy”) as well as Dominic Savage’s “Dive,” for BBC2.

Before joining the BBC Howell was head of development at Film 4, where her credits include features Slumdog Millionaire, Enduring Love, Dead Man’s Shoes, The Last King of Scotland and Buried as well as miniseries “Shackleton” and series such as “Shameless,” “Teachers” and “White Teeth.” She joined the division after a tenure at Channel 4 Television, where she was a drama commissioner.
