Meet Bruna

Producer. Podcaster. Chaos coordinator. Queen of adaptations.

Bruna Papandrea is the award-winning producer behind Big Little Lies, Wild, The Undoing, Nine Perfect Strangers, and Luckiest Girl Alive — if a bestselling novel became your latest screen obsession, there’s a good chance she had something to do with it.

Originally from Australia (yes, the accent is real) but living between international film sets and Sydney, she champions complex female characters and bold storytelling, and will absolutely cry in a pitch meeting if the story hits just right. She’s also a mom of twins, a host of the hit podcast Unleashed, and runs a 24/7 production company.

The World

One universe. Many stories.

“I want to tell stories that reflect the world we live in and the one we want to live in — and the world we will never live in but will inspire us, transport us and spark our imagination — remind us that our possibilities are endless.”

My World

Where else you’ll find me.
