Philippa Goslett is a British screenwriter. She wrote Little Ashes, a biopic about the relationship between a young Salvador Dalí (played by Robert Pattinson) and Federico García Lorca.[1] It won the 2010 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Film, Limited Release. [2]

She co-wrote the screenplay for How to Talk to Girls At Parties with director John Cameron Mitchell from a short story by Neil Gaiman. The film stars Elle Fanning, Alex Sharp, Nicole Kidman and Matt Lucas.[3] The film was part of the Official Selection for the 2017 Cannes Film Festival[4]

Goslett also co-wrote the screenplay for the 2018 film Mary Magdalene with Helen Edmundson.[5] The film started Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix, Chewitel Ejiofor and Tahar Rahim.

In 2018, she began writing Himalaya, a film based on Antonia Deacock's book No Purdah In Padam about three women who organised a 1958 expedition to the Himalayas.[6]

On January 28, 2021, Goslett was announced as the new showrunner for The Nevers, taking over two months after the departure of Joss Whedon.[7] Goslett has developed shows for other networks, such as FX, BBC and Channel 4, but this marks her first time as a showrunner.[8]
