Carter Covington got his start when his first original script Just a Phase was bought and produced by ABC Family. The half-hour single-camera comedy was a memoir of Covington’s life growing up gay in the 80’s in North Carolina, and soon he was on his first set, producing his first pilot, surrounded by actors he cast as his family. This launched his development career, and Covington has since sold multiple comedy and drama projects. Covington’s first series was the TV adaptation of the teen classic 10 Things I Hate About You, which he ran for two seasons and was named by The New York Times as one of the year’s top 10 shows. His next series Faking It was a ground-breaking dramedy that explored the fluidity of sexuality and featured television’s first intersex main character. The series garnered three GLAAD nominations, Teen Choice Award for Breakout Show, and the key to the City of West Hollywood during its three-season run. Other credits include Charmed, Greek and Hart of Dixie. Covington is an alumnus of the Warner Brothers Comedy Workshop and the WGA Showrunner’s program. He holds a dual degree in Spanish and Foreign Affairs from The University of Virginia and an MBA from UCLA.
