About Nicole Phillips

From her early days as a student in high school, Nicole Phillips always knew she was going to be a writer. Whenever there was a school project, Nicole was always the student wanting to take it to the next level. She would look to add drama and video to every presentation. This passion led Nicole to film school at USC, followed by an internship working for Bad Robot. Yes the JJ Abrams run Bad Robot.

Nicole worked on seasons 3 and 4 of FRINGE. During her time there she wrote episode 420 “Worlds Apart” which had arguably the best John Nobel scene in the series. She also had the opportunity to enter the comic book space with “Beyond The Fringe”, the comic about the show, working with Joshua Jackson on a few issues.

Thereafter, Nicole found her way to Jon and John as their script coordinator for The Blacklist. During season one she pitched the idea of a Blacklist comic book. It wasn’t until late season 2 that the project got a green light. Series one concluded the story of “The Gambler” in December of 2015. On January 20, 2016, we will encounter a new member of The Blacklist with “The Arsonist”. Nicole is slated to write all 5 issues of “The Arsonist” just like she had for “The Gambler”. Whether or not there will be a series three depends on YOU!
