Jennifer Sheridan is a South London native who discovered her love of filmmaking at the BRIT School in Croydon. Beginning her career as a self-taught editor, she built an impressive portfolio across entertainment and scripted comedy, with credits including The League of Gentlemen, Cuckoo, and Gogglebox.
Drawn to high-concept, emotionally driven storytelling, Jennifer’s directing work spans multiple genres. Following her television directorial debut on CBBC’s fantasy drama The Snow Spider (2020), she directed the BBC thriller Rules of the Game, starring Maxine Peake and Alison Steadman.
She went on to direct episodes across both seasons of Disney+ and Hulu’s acclaimed superhero comedy Extraordinary, which maintained a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and earned multiple awards, including a Broadcast Digital Award, Royal Television Society Award, and Venice TV Festival Award, alongside a BAFTA nomination for Best Scripted Comedy.
Jennifer has since directed episodes of ITV’s award-winning medical thriller Malpractice and HBO/SKY’s forthcoming legal thriller WAR. She most recently served as lead director on the BBC and BritBox period drama The Other Bennet Sister, which became the BBC’s biggest UK drama launch in a year, attracting 7.8 million viewers for its premiere and setting subscriber sign-up records during its US rollout on BritBox.
Her horror feature debut, Rose – A Love Story, premiered at the 2020 BFI London Film Festival to critical acclaim, earning four BIFA longlist nominations, a Raindance Discovery Award nomination, and Best Feature at the 2021 Barnes Film Festival. Jennifer was also nominated for the New Visions Award at Sitges.
