Drew Hancock

Drew Hancock’s story kicks off in Omaha, Nebraska, way back in '79—July 9th, to be exact. The guy’s carved out a pretty quirky path through Hollywood, juggling writing and directing gigs like he was born for it. People mainly know him for “Companion,” which, yeah, comes out in 2025, so there’s a bit of hype and mystery around that one. Before all that, though, he already had some fun with “My Dead Ex” in 2018—a show that didn’t exactly follow the standard playbook. Teen romance, undead ex-boyfriends, and a bunch of sarcastic banter? Classic Hancock, honestly. And then there’s “Suburgatory” from 2011. If you ever caught a couple episodes, you’d get why folks remember it. The suburbs get roasted, small-town drama gets dialed up, and the humor’s got a bite to it. Drew’s fingerprints are all over the vibe—witty, slightly off-kilter, not afraid to poke fun at stuff most people ignore. He’s got this way of sneaking weird, lovable characters into oddball situations and making you root for them, even if they’re kind of a mess. Not every writer-director can pull that off, but Hancock’s got a knack for it. Omaha might not be the first place you’d expect to spawn a Hollywood storyteller, but here we are. Whether you’re into heart-tugging weirdness or just want to see what the fuss is about, Drew Hancock’s projects have a habit of sticking in your head.
