Timothy Hobart

Creator Context

Summary

Australian writer, producer and development executive whose television career includes Wentworth, Mr & Mrs Murder, Killing Time, Nowhere Boys, Wanted and Hungry Ghosts. Hobart co-created and co-produced Hungry Ghosts, an SBS drama centered on Vietnamese-Australian families, the Vietnam War, migration and intergenerational trauma, and the production was notable for its large Asian-Australian cast and emphasis on culturally specific storytelling. This is a meaningful representation-oriented credit, but the available public record does not establish an activist-level persona, repeated public campaigning or explicit partisan politics. Most of his other work is mainstream crime, thriller and commercial television development.
