Brad Falchuk (born 1971) is an American television director, producer and screenwriter. He grew up in Newton, Massachusetts. Falchuk is one of the creators of Glee; he is best known for his work on the television shows Nip/Tuck and Glee.

Creating Glee

As Nip/Tuck neared its sixth and final season, Falchuk and Ryan Murphy began to look for their next project and decided to focus on a lighter subject. They teamed up with Ian Brennan, who had written a screenplay about high school show choirs, to pitch a one-hour comedy about a glee club to the network, FOX. Their pitch was successful and turned into the television show Glee, which premiered in 2009.
