Willimon's television credits include creating the award-winning Netflix series House of Cards, and Hulu's space drama The First along with Academy award nominated films Mary Queen of Scots and The Ides of March. He and Westward are represented by Schreck Rose Dapello Adams Berlin & Dunham.

eOne's lineup of original and acquired content features over 50 series and long-form programs commissioned by over 20 different broadcast and cable networks including eOne-produced series The Rookie starring Nathan Fillion for ABC; Nurses on NBC; limited series Run, from Vicky Jones and Phoebe Waller-Bridge for HBO; Burden of Truth starring Kristen Kreuk on the CW; Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez for Netflix; upcoming series including Cruel Summer for Freeform; Yellowjackets for Showtime; as well as past limited series Sharp Objects starring Amy Adams for HBO; and Designated Survivor, starring Kiefer Sutherland for ABC/Netflix. eOne recently announced a partnership with Jonathan Entwistle, an overall deal with Emmy-award winning writer/producer Bryan Cogman as well as first-look deals with prolific author James Patterson, and producer Jeremy Latcham.
