Career

Prior to screenwriting, Williams worked in publishing. In 2008, he was awarded a place on the BBC Writer's Academy, a programme designed to train new writers for their long running television series. He went on to write for all four of the BBC's popular continuing dramas: Doctors, Eastenders, Casualty and its spinoff, Holby City. Williams also wrote episodes of Killing Eve, The Man in the High Castle and DCI Banks.

In 2019, his four-part thriller miniseries The Victim, produced by STV Studios, was broadcast on BBC One.[3] It starred Kelly Macdonald, James Harkness and John Hannah, in a story about a murdered child's mother going on trial for inciting murder after she is accused of posting online the new identity and address of the man she believes murdered her son.[4] Williams will team again with STV on a new TV prison drama, Screw.[5][6][7]
