Emmy, WGA, and PGA award-nominated creator, showrunner, writer, and executive producer Monica Beletsky has become known in the entertainment industry through the dynamic characters and projects she has helped bring to life. Beletsky has worked on over 130 episodes of ensemble dramas, with three series landing on various critics "Best Television" lists.
Beletsky is set to debut as the creator, showrunner, and executive producer for the Apple TV+ limited true crime/drama series "Manhunt."
"Manhunt," a seven part limited true crime/drama series, portrays the investigation of one of the most widely known crimes but least understood cases; President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The series follows Lincoln's war secretary and friend Edwin Stanton, played by Emmy Award-winning actor Tobias Menzies ("The Crown"), who was driven by his quest to catch assassin John Wilkes Booth and to carry out Lincoln's legacy. The series also stars Anthony Boyle, Lovie Simone, Will Harrison, Matt Walsh, Brandon Flynn, Hamish Linklater, and Patton Oswalt. Beletsky set out to tell the investigation with a compelling range of characters from a conspiracy and true crime perspective, breathing new life into the Lincoln assassination story. "Manhunt" made its global debut on Apple TV+ in 2024.
Aside from "Manhunt," Beletsky is well known in the industry for her roles as writer/producer on the third season of the Emmy Award nominated FX series "Fargo." The series was met with critical praise and went on to receive multiple nominations during its third season including 16 Primetime Emmy Award nominations. As the only woman writer/producer nominated in her category at the time, Beletsky received a shared nomination for Outstanding Limited Series for a Limited Series or a Movie. She also went on to receive a Writers' Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Long Form and PGA Award nomination for Outstanding Producer of Long-Form Television for her time on the series.
