Hailing from south London, Lauren is of British-Caribbean heritage.
Her original TV series DOMINO DAY aired on BBC3 in February 2024, where she also took on the role of an executive producer. She has worked as a contributing writer for GANGS OF LONDON S2 (Pulse Films/SISTER/Sky/AMC) and also wrote the harrowing Episode 6 of its first series.
She created the Bafta Nominated digital spin-off series to the BBC’s The Dumping Ground, SASHA’S CONTACT MEETING, and was named on the BBC hotlist of 200 new emerging talents tipped as future stars.
She was previously on the BBC Drama Writers’ Programme 2017, where she developed her girl-gang drama THE LOST CHIX with New Pictures and the BBC. Prior to that, her script CLEO – a gangland re-imagining of Queen Cleopatra’s story – was one of three scripts shortlisted for Idris Elba’s Green Door/Lionsgate ‘Write to Green Light’ initiative.
Lauren has recently served as showrunner on DOMINO DAY and is now working on new projects in early development.
