John Luscombe

As a graduate of the Australian Film and Television School, a career in TV was always on the cards for John. In his early career he worked as both a producer and director at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation with credits covering children’s programming, documentaries, live outside broadcasts and a science magazine show. This latter experience led him to Beyond to produce the pioneering, award-winning science series Beyond 2000.  After executive producing a number of other successful series for the company, including Just for the Record and Invention, John was appointed head of production. As president of Beyond Productions since 2000, John has overseen the development, marketing and production of all Beyond Productions’ programming based in Sydney, Los Angeles and recently, the UK. His impressive range of credits cover over 1,500 hours of programming for cable and network broadcasters in Australia and the rest of the world and include the Primetime Emmy-nominated MythBusters (Discovery), MythBusters Junior (Science Channel), Taboo (NGC), Deadly Women (ID), My Lottery Dream Home (HGTV) White Rabbit Project (Netflix) and Curse of Akakor (Facebook Watch).
