Edward Ricourt is an American screenwriter and television producer. He began his career through Marvel Studios’ Writing Program, which encouraged him to write a script for\u00a0Luke Cage, as it was of high interest to the studio. Despite no Luke Cage project being made, Ricourt contributed uncredited script revisions to\u00a0Thor\u00a0(2011). However, Ricourt gained significant recognition in theatrical filmmaking as a co-writer of the screenplay and story for the heist thriller\u00a0Now You See Me\u00a0(2013), which led to further involvement in the franchise.<\/p>\n
In television, Ricourt served as a writer and executive story editor on\u00a0Wayward Pines\u00a0(2015), contributing to the show\u2019s second season. That same year, he wrote for the Marvel television series\u00a0Jessica Jones\u00a0(2015) and worked as a consulting producer.<\/p>\n
Ricourt continued this trajectory as a writer and producer on Netflix\u2019s superhero family drama\u00a0Raising Dion\u00a0(2019), where he wrote teleplays and served as a producer and later supervising producer across multiple episodes from 2019 to 2022. He was nominated at the Children\u2019s & Family Emmy Awards for Outstanding Children\u2019s or Family Viewing Series for\u00a0Raising Dion\u00a0(2019), alongside fellow producers and creative leads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
