## Career

[edit]

Zuckerman's television career began when she worked as a writer/producer on the short-lived American telenovela Desire, which ran from September 5, 2006 until December 5, 2006.

In 2009, she worked with her sister as a staff writer on the second season of the FOX series Fringe, co-writing the episode, "Northwest Passage" (co-written by Lilla and producers Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz).[1]

She worked as a story editor on another Fox series, Human Target and again co-wrote one episode, entitled "Dead Head", with her sister and Dan E. Fesman, based on a story by Tom Spezialy.

After Human Target's cancellation, in May 2011,[2] she and her sister were hired as story editors on the Syfy series Haven, a mystery/thriller based on The Colorado Kid by Stephen King, where they wrote eight episodes, including fan-favorites[citation needed] "Audrey Parker's Day Off" and "Sarah".

Nora and Lilla Zuckerman went on to write and produce on two seasons of the USA television series, Suits, then became co-executive producers on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for seasons four through seven, writing multiple episodes. They then went on to be writers and co-executive producers of Prodigal Son for both seasons of its run.

Zuckerman and her sister are the showrunners and executive producers of Poker Face, a Peacock mystery crime drama created by Rian Johnson and starring Natasha Lyonne. It was met with critical acclaim upon its January 2023 release.[3]

The Zuckermans have sold multiple pilots, often working with USA Network, CBS, HBO Max, and Peacock.
