Frank Spotnitz (born November 17, 1960) is an American television writer and producer, and Chief Executive of Big Light Productions. Spotnitz is known for his work on The X-Files television series and for creating The Man in the High Castle.

Spotnitz executive produced, developed and wrote several episodes of The Man in the High Castle.

All ten episodes launched in Fall 2015 in the US, UK, Germany and Austria, and in December 2016 in Japan and the show since set records to become Amazon Studios’ most viewed series ever. The series made many ‘best of the year’ lists, including National Public Radio and USA Today.

Spotnitz created and co-wrote the eight-part drama series Medici: Masters of Florence, starring Richard Madden and Dustin Hoffman. The series is produced with Lux Vide Productions for RAI, Italy’s largest broadcaster. It broke Italian records when its premiere attracted 7.6 million viewers in October 2016, and was subsequently picked up by Netflix. Acclaimed theatrical distributors Wild Bunch launched their television division with the project and oversee global rights for it.

Ransom is a drama set against an international backdrop, starring Luke Roberts for CBS in the U.S., France’s TF1, Canada’s Corus Entertainment/Global and Germany's RTL. The thriller is executive produced and co-created by Spotnitz.

Spotnitz developed, co-created and is executive producing the upcoming series The Indian Detective, starring international comedy sensation Russell Peters, for Canadian broadcaster CTV.
