Career

Clarkson's credits include the series Doctors, Casualty, EastEnders, Footballers' Wives, and Life on Mars, as well as the American series Heroes, House, Dexter, and Ugly Betty. In 2008, she co-created the British series Mistresses.

In 2019, a prequel show to Game of Thrones was announced for HBO with Clarkson attached to direct and executive produce the pilot, in addition to being involved in the creation of the series.[5][6] The show, reportedly entitled Bloodmoon, took place 5,000 years before the main series and starred Naomi Watts in the lead role. The pilot had reportedly been shot, but the show was subsequently shelved at HBO in late 2019.[7][8]

In film, Clarkson directed the Helena Bonham Carter led film Toast, releasing on BBC One in 2010. In May 2020, Clarkson was hired to direct an untitled Sony Spider-Man Universe female-centric superhero film.[9] The title was revealed to be Madame Web, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, and starring Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney.[10]
