Heather Kadin (born August 7, 1972) is an American television producer and film producer. She will co-executive produce the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery.
What you haven't seen [in the trailer] is the show is a lot of fun. That's what you haven't gotten to see [yet]. What Jake [McDorman (Brian)] does, he's really funny, and brings a sense of fun to it…I think a big thing is the casting of Jake. Obviously we loved the movie, but Bradley's character, Eddie Morra, is kind of self-serving: he takes the drug, he writes this book, he becomes a stock broker, makes money, [sleeps with] women, and in a TV show, you're not going to root for that guy.
Kadin was born on August 7, 1972 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Before being President of the production company, K/O Paper Products, she was an executive producer at ABC. Kadin had previously worked with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci together at ABC, where as a drama executive, was involved in J.J. Abrams' spy series Alias, on which Kurtzman and Orci were writer-producers since the first episode. She had left Warner Bros. Television where she served as vice president of drama development in 2010. Kadin worked with Kurtzman and Orci on the WBTV-produced Fringe, which Kurtzman and Orci co-created with Abrams.
Kadin is the executive producer of Sleepy Hollow since its beginning in 2013,Matador in 2014,Scorpion since 2014, and Limitless since 2015. She executive produced TV movie the Exit Strategy where she worked with David Guggenheim, Kurtzman, Orci, and director Antoine Fuqua in 2015.
