Garrett Basch

Garrett Basch is an American film and television producer. He is best known for his work on the Emmy-winning series The Night Of and What We Do in the Shadows, and for being the first producer ever to have three scripted shows nominated in the same year.

Career While attending Tulane University, Basch was hired by Oscar-winning writer/director Steven Zaillian as his assistant. The pair later formed Film Rites, a production company whose work included Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and the HBO limited series The Night Of. In addition to scripted content, Basch produced the documentary film Life Itself, for which he won the Producers Guild of America Award in 2015.

Although HBO initially passed on The Night Of, Basch was instrumental in saving the show by screening the pilot for Netflix and FX executives, sparking a bidding war that ultimately led HBO to order the limited series.

In 2022, Basch founded Dive, a production company whose projects include Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins, What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs, Our Flag Means Death, Time Bandits, Interior Chinatown and Ripley. Basch received the Peabody Award twice for his work on FX's Reservation Dogs, first in 2022 and again in 2024. In August 2024, Basch became the first producer to have three scripted shows—What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs, and Ripley—nominated for the Emmys in the same year.
