She is best known as the creator of the Showtime comedy-drama series Weeds and the Netflix comedy-drama series Orange Is the New Black.[1][2] She has received nine Emmy Award nominations, winning one as supervising producer of the comedy series Tracey Takes On.... Early lifeKohan was born to a Jewish family[3] in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Rhea Kohan (née Arnold),[4][5][6] and Alan W. "Buz" Kohan.[7] She is the youngest of three siblings, the other two being twins Jono and David. Much of the family is in show business:
Kohan's paternal grandparents were Charles Kohan and May E. Charles. He was born in Romania in 1902, while she was born in New York City, to parents from Russia.[3] The two knew each other from childhood, growing up in a New York City settlement house on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.[11] Kohan says that her father was the "king of variety television in his day," writing and producing the Oscars and other variety shows. Her mother was a novelist.[13] She grew up in Beverly Hills, California[14] and attended Beverly Hills High School, graduating in 1987. She first attended Brandeis University, and transferred to Columbia University as a sophomore, where she graduated, with a degree in English language and literature, in 1991.[12] CareerKohan's first job in the industry was with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, of which Kohan wrote one episode, and later said was a "rough entrance" to the business.[13] After a series of writing jobs on shows such as Mad About You, Tracey Takes On..., and Friends, she collaborated with her brother, David Kohan, writing an outside script for Will & Grace.[9] The siblings also worked together on the sitcom The Stones for CBS, which was ultimately unsuccessful.[1] She has discussed the differences between her and her brother's career saying, "David took the big, commercial, funny route; I was always a little darker personally, and not terrific within the system. I had to make my own way."[9] WeedsKohan was the creator of the Showtime dark comedy-drama television series Weeds, which she executive produced as showrunner and head writer at her writing studio, Tilted Productions, in Los Angeles, California throughout its entire eight season airing.[1][13][14] Orange Is the New BlackKohan created the Netflix comedy-drama Orange Is the New Black, an adaptation that was inspired by Piper Kerman's memoir My Year in a Women's Prison about her experiences in a minimum-security women's prison.[15][16][17] Kohan's executive producing duties as showrunner and head writer consists of running the writer's room, which is located at her writing studio, Tilted Productions, in Los Angeles, California. Principal photography takes place in New York.[18] Netflix, as a streaming service distribution model of TV and movie content, is unique in that it does not provide ratings information, so Kohan does not know exact ratings for Orange Is the New Black, which has been characterized as the most watched original series on Netflix, in a new distribution model where binge viewing[19] is enabled by full seasons of shows being made available at once.[20] Other projectsProducingKohan has an overall deal with Lionsgate TV.[21] Hayworth TheatreKohan owns the historic Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles.[22] She plans to use the second floor as production offices.[23] Personal lifeIn 1997, Kohan married author and freelance journalist Christopher Noxon, who converted to Judaism.[24][25][26] Together they have three children: a son Charlie, a daughter Eliza, and youngest son Oscar.[5] They live in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.[27] Kohan and her family are Jewish.[9][10] Filmography
