Matt Charman was born 5 june 1979 in West Sussex, England, where he attended Forest School, Horsham. He then went on to study English literature at University College London. While a student, he frequently snuck into plays and musicals for free during intervals (a practice known as second-acting), and “tried to figure out what happened in the first act.” Charman started out writing for theatre, making his breakthrough as writer-in-residence at London’s National Theatre, where then director Nicholas Hytner described Charman as having "a priceless nose for a story." He recently wrote the pilot episode of Oasis, a sci-fi drama for Amazon Video adapting Michel Faber's The Book of Strange New Things, and is working on a second movie for Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners, based on Walter Cronkite’s 1968 visit to Vietnam.
