About
Minkie likes to tell big stories (3 Body Problem). She knows how to make people laugh (Dead to Me). She can be breathtakingly cinematic (Fosse/Verdon). And elicits extraordinary performances (Barry) — while bringing out the very best in her crew.
There is no singular path to a project for Minkie. Her innate versatility and remarkable fluency across genres have made her an increasingly sought-after creative partner. She often collaborates with writers and showrunners at the earliest stages of development, helping to shape a series while it is still finding its voice. Whether launching premium series (All Her Fault) or directing television's defining dramas (Better Call Saul), Minkie’s work has garnered Emmy, Golden Globe and BAFTA wins and nominations.
Sizzle Reel
Minkie studied Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins School of Art in London, graduating with First Class Honours. She began her career as a photographer, exhibiting work internationally (New York, London) before gaining her Master’s in Film Directing from the Royal College of Art. It was here that her fascination with the human condition began—a curiosity that continues to inform her work.
Minkie’s short films and documentaries (Rat Women) earned international recognition and multiple awards (San Francisco Film Festival) before she embarked on a career directing premium television drama.
Her recent series All Her Fault, starring Sarah Snook, Dakota Fanning, Michael Peña and Jake Lacy, became Peacock's most successful original drama and made history as the platform’s first scripted series to receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.
Minkie followed that success with The Five Star Weekend, which she also directed and executive produced. Starring Jennifer Garner, Chloë Sevigny, Regina Hall, Gemma Chan and D’Arcy Carden, the show generated over one billion viewing minutes in its first week, becoming Peacock's most successful scripted series ever.
