Brennan McMahon

Brennan McMahon is a screenwriter and author drawn to stories deeply grounded in history, layered with meaning, and shaped by complex human choices. He has worked on productions including Prison Break, Chase, Walking Tall, The Deep End, Cheaters, Mongolian Death Worm, and Mafia Wars.

Most recently, he wrote the novel and screenplay for Kings, a work reflecting his fascination with power, legacy, and the echoes of the past.
