She was the only female writer and producer nominated in the Outstanding Limited Series category that year.

In addition, Beletsky’s credits include NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood,” as well as HBO’s “The Leftovers.” From 2019 to 2022, Beletsky was on an overall deal at Apple TV+, and she has previously developed features for HBO Films, Tristar/Sony and Amazon, in addition to developing TV pilots for FX and Amazon.
Throughout her career, Beletsky championed female and non-gender conforming writers, most notably by serving as an annual mentor for The Black List and Women in Film’s Episodic Writing Lab, which focuses on preparing women and people of underrepresented genders for careers in writing. During the pandemic, Beletsky shared her knowledge with those unable to attend film school by offering pro bono teaching through her social media accounts.
42’s management division includes CEO Josh Varney, Cathy King, Kate Buckley, Peter Dealbert, Simon Beresford, and Chris Licata. They also recently added managers Jake Miller and Karli Doumanis to the L.A.-based branch. Together, they represent such actors, writers, directors, and producers as Jesse Armstrong (“Succession”), Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey”), Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”), Anna Sawai (“Shogun”), Nicholas Hoult (“The Order”), Charlie Brooker (“Black Mirror”), Lynne Ramsay (“You Were Never Really Here”), Darius Marder (“Sound of Metal”) and Alena Smith (“Dickinson”).
Beletsky continues to be represented by Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole LLP and Persona PR.
