Edwardian Pictures is currently in active development on a new slate of feature films and television pilots.

In addition to her production work, Kelly Edwards consults for Apple TV Studios, PBS, and Sony on their early and mid-career pipeline programs.

A former executive, Edwards oversaw all of the emerging artists programs for HBO, HBOMax, and Turner. The award-winning films she produced during that time have screened at major film festivals including Tribeca and SXSW.

Edwards was a key corporate diversity executive at HBO where she designed their emerging artist programs and at Comcast/NBCUniversal for over five years where she oversaw over 20 divisions, launched employee resource groups, and introduced diverse creative talent to NBC, USA, Syfy, Bravo, and Telemundo.

Early in her career, she worked as a creative executive in features at both Disney and Sony under such talents as Garry Marshall and Laura Ziskin. After moving to television, she served as a senior executive at FOX where she developed LIVING SINGLE, CLUELESS, and THE WILD THORNBERRYS.  While heading up UPN’s Comedy division as the SVP of Comedy Development she developed GIRLFRIENDS, THE PARKERS, and MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE.

Edwards also produced the movie of the week A CHRISTMAS DETOUR for Hallmark and the one-hour drama series SEX, LOVE, AND SECRETS.

In 2000, Edwards co-founded the non-profit organization Colour Entertainment, a networking group for diverse creative executives in TV, Film, Digital, as well as assistants, all designed to connect current and future industry executives with one another. The organization offers panel discussions, mentoring, and leadership training.

Edwards graduated from Vassar College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater and an MFA in Writing for Film and TV at Emerson College. She served on the Annenberg Inclusion Board, is a 2019 Sundance Episodic Lab fellow, and recently spent three months as a Sundance Advisor in Residence.
