Biography

Jack Thorne FRSL (born 6 December 1978) is a British playwright, television writer, screenwriter, and producer.

A massive fan of hard science fiction, he is best known for writing the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the films Wonder (2017), Enola Holmes (2020) and the latter's sequel (2022), and the television programme His Dark Materials (2019–2022). Between 2010 and 2015, Thorne co-wrote three mini-series – This Is England '86, This Is England '88, and This Is England '90 – with director Shane Meadows.

Thorne's two 2025 mini-series, Toxic Town and Adolescence, were released on Netflix to widespread critical acclaim. He co-wrote the third instalment in the Tron film franchise, Tron: Ares (2025).
