Writer, showrunner and producer Sarah Lambert has created some of Australia’s most critically-acclaimed drama series in recent years. Most recently, Sarah was the creator and showrunner of THE LOST FLOWERS OF ALICE HART, an Amazon Prime television adaptation of Holly Ringwald’s best-selling novel, starring Sigourney Weaver. THE LOST FLOWERS OF ALICE HART received widespread praise from critics, international and local audiences alike, and is Amazon’s most successful global launch ever for an Australian show. It was nominated for twelve AACTA (Australian Academy) Awards, ultimately taking home Best Miniseries. Additionally, her work on the series earned her an AWGIE (Australian Writers Guild Award) nomination for Best Screenplay in a Limited Series, and she was Highly Commended by the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards for her pilot episode ‘Black Fire Orchid.’ Sarah was recently selected by Screen Australia and the Australian Writers’ Guild to participate in the second edition of The Creators Showrunner Program in the US.

Prior to THE LOST FLOWERS OF ALICE HART, Sarah adapted Marcus Zusak’s THE MESSENGER for ABC TV. Sarah was the creator and showrunner on LAMBS OF GOD, a gothic tale about three nuns living in an isolated convent who must confront an unwelcome visitor starring Ann Dowd. The limited series received eighteen AACTA award nominations including Sarah for Best Screenplay in Television and Best Miniseries at the AWGIE Awards. LAMBS OF GOD won Best Miniseries at the AACTAs and Miniseries Production of the Year at the Screen Producers Awards.

Sarah’s earlier work is equally impressive with many of her shows now recognisable classics in Australian television. Sarah created and wrote LOVE CHILD, a series set in Kings Cross in 1969 as Australia was coming of age and the new generation broke all the rules. Over four seasons, LOVE CHILD received twenty nominations including Best Miniseries at the AWGIE Awards, Best Television Drama Series at the AACTA Awards, and Best Drama Program at the Logie Awards on two occasions. Sarah has also written episodes for award-winning shows THE DOCTOR BLAKE MYSTERIES, A PLACE TO CALL HOME, and DANCE ACADEMY, for which she was nominated for Best Children’s Screenplay at the AWGIEs.

Sarah recently partnered with multi award-winning director Jane Manning and television executive Andrew Lambert to create her own production company, Lantern Pictures.
