Mary Gulino

Mary Gulino, yeah, she's one of those names you keep hearing if you pay any attention to TV writers or the comedy circuit. Her credits? Pretty wild lineup, honestly. So, she’s one of the brains behind Upload, that Amazon Prime show from 2020 where people literally upload their consciousness into a digital afterlife. It’s like, part sci-fi, part dark comedy, and if you think Black Mirror but with jokes, you're not far off. Gulino’s touch is all over that show’s snarky tone and sharp writing. But she’s not just about digital afterlives and techy stuff. More recently, she’s been working on Hailey’s on It!, which dropped in 2023. It’s got this animated, adventure-comedy vibe, and if you ever wondered what it’s like to watch a girl try to fix her future one wild task at a time, well, this is your jam. The humor feels super current, and honestly, that’s kinda Gulino’s style—she’s got this way of weaving in jokes that sound like something your funniest friend would say. And then there’s Sherry from 2018. A bit more indie, a bit more grounded, but still with that quirky edge. The thing with Gulino is, whatever she’s writing, you can usually expect something clever, a bit weird, and actually pretty heartfelt underneath all the laughs. She’s got a knack for making you care about these offbeat characters, and her scripts just have this energy—never boring, always a little unexpected. Basically, if you see her name in the credits, you know you’re in for something that doesn’t play it safe.
