Danielle Woodrow is Director of Content at Netflix Canada. She relocated from Los Angeles to Toronto in fall of 2021 to spearhead the build of the local Content team. Since joining Netflix in 2018, Woodrow has been instrumental in the development and production of a number of acclaimed series including Behind Her Eyes, Pieces of Her and The Lincoln Lawyer. She also championed the commission of the popular comedy Emily in Paris.

Recently, she and the Canadian team launched their first scripted series, North of North, in collaboration with CBC and APTN. Upcoming projects include the thriller Wayward, created by comedian Mae Martin and starring Toni Collette; a documentary film about the Montreal Expos; and an event-limited set in Newfoundland about a fisherman and a mysterious sea creature.

Before her tenure at Netflix, Woodrow was President of Television at Perfect Storm Entertainment where she established the series arm. With Perfect Storm, Woodrow developed and executive produced the long-running CBS dramas Scorpion and S.W.A.T. as well as the cult hit Warrior for HBO Max.

Prior to Perfect Storm, Woodrow served as Senior Vice President of Original Programming at FX Networks, where she ran the Current Department and played a key executive role in shepherding the network’s slate of critically acclaimed series including Justified, Damages, Sons of Anarchy and Archer.

Woodrow began her career in movies at MTV and is very good at “name that tune”.
