About Brad

Brad Hall is a creator, showrunner, and Emmy-winning producer whose career spans television news, documentary, unscripted series, live events, corporate, nonprofit, and digital media.

He has created and sold original programming—including serving as showrunner for The Naughty Kitchen with Chef Blythe Beck on NBCUniversal’s Oxygen—and produced acclaimed projects across major networks and platforms.

His work has earned multiple honors, including two Primetime Emmys and the Television Academy’s prestigious Governors Award for using the medium at its most profound and powerful.

Brad got his start at Bunim/Murray Productions—the company behind MTV’s groundbreaking The Real World—before moving into national newsrooms at FOX and NBC, where he honed his instinct for finding the human heartbeat in any story. That skill powered his work on acclaimed series such as The Teen Files (Primetime Emmy + Governors Award), Newlyweds: The First Year (Bravo), and Born Behind Bars (Lifetime). His career includes extensive collaborations with documentary legend Arnold Shapiro (Scared Straight!) and journalist Maria Shriver, telling stories on subjects ranging from addiction and gender identity to social justice and education.

While best known for his nonfiction work, Brad’s decades of experience crafting character-driven, emotionally resonant narratives now fuel his scripted television projects. His background in high-stakes, real-world storytelling has given him a rare ability to create scripted worlds with authenticity, emotional depth, and cultural relevance—qualities that resonate with today’s audiences.

Beyond the screen, Brad has built brand identities, produced live events, led communications through crisis, and guided teams through high-stakes transitions.

Whether producing a national series or steering an organization through change, his approach is the same: listen deeply, lead with empathy, and deliver with precision.

With a track record of delivering award-winning work, leading productions from concept to screen, and shaping stories that endure, Brad Hall is a creator whose next project isn’t just another credit—it’s the next chapter in a career defined by vision, craft, and an unshakable commitment to storytelling at its most powerful.
