Director/Writer/Producer

Dayna Lynne North is a film and television writer, producer, cultural curator, and self-described ‘Delightful Disruptor’. Recently, she co-created and executive produced THE BEST MAN: THE FINAL CHAPTERS on Peacock. This adaptation of the iconic Best Man film franchise by Malcolm D.

Under this deal, she created, produced, and supervised comedies and dramas across all platforms. Dayna is currently in development with writer/director Morgan Cooper and Gabrielle Union’s I’ll Have Another Productions on the half hour workplace comedy BLKCOFFEE. She’s also developing the supernatural romantic comedy series DON’T TOUCH ME, in partnership with Sony and Matt Tolmach Productions. Dayna was a writer/Executive Producer on the first three seasons of HBO’s Emmy-nominated, zeitgeist-shifting INSECURE. She was also a Consulting Producer on the Television Critics Association and Peabody Award-winning SWITCHED AT BIRTH. Prior to that, she was co-showrunner and Co-Executive Producer on VH1’s SINGLE LADIES. Dayna was also a Co-Executive Producer on the ABC Family drama LINCOLN HEIGHTS, which garnered the NAACP Image award for Best Drama, as well as the Gabriel Award for Best Entertainment. Early in her career, Dayna was a writer/producer on the first two seasons of the CW’s pop culture phenom VERONICA MARS. She also wrote the holiday-themed Lifetime biopic, AN EN-VOGUE CHRISTMAS. Dayna is a native of Kansas City, Missouri, and a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. In her downtime, she enjoys surfing, scuba-diving, and playing (and mostly losing at) poker in very low stakes home games.
