Celebrity Best Days Out – Kate Herron

Frighteningly talented and brilliantly creative, Kate Herron (@iamkateherron) is a director, writer, and producer with a wickedly sharp eye for storytelling. She first gained recognition with darkly hilarious short films (check out Open House) before making waves in TV with Sex Education and the critically acclaimed Loki.
Since co-writing the Doctor who episode Rogue starring Ncuti Gatwa, she’s now bringing her vision to The Sims movie adaptation and is also set to direct season 2 of The Last of Us.
But being a total legend she still found time to chat to share her Best Days Out with us….Enjoy!
