Adam Horowitz
, b. 1971
Adam Horowitz graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1994 where he studies communication and political science. During his studies, he was a major contributor to the Daily Cardinal, the student newspaper. He moved to Los Angeles with his university friend Edward Kitsis. They worked there as writers on several television shows, including the revival of the 1970s ABC series Fantasy Island. In 2005, they were both hired as writers and producers (in 2006 as co-executive producers) by ABC for the series Lost and continued working for the show until its final season in 2010, honoured by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Award for Best Dramatic Series in 2006 and nominated for this award twice (2007 and 2010). They continued working for the ABC creating Once Upon a Time (2011–2018), a seven-season fairy tale/mythological fantasy situated in part in a small contemporary American town, and in part in a magical realm. In 2013, they created with Jane Espenson and Zack Estrin a spin-off series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (based on Lewis Carroll’s novels and Disney movies motifs) which was designed as a one season show and broadcast in 2013–2014. When OUAT ended in May 2018, Kitsis and Horowitz extended their exclusive contract with ABC Studios for another four years (until 2022) and began working on a remake of Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories series for Apple TV+.
