Sameera wrote two episodes of the first season of global hit tv show GEEK GIRL for Netflix/Corus from the Holly Smale bestselling novel, which went to number 1 in the worldwide Netflix charts, and Top 5 in the UK. She has since written the opening episode of season two and additional episodes for seasons two and three.

Sameera enjoys exploring messy, challenging, complex anti-heroes in a bold, accessible, and entertaining way. She has a strong desire to explore stories from the perspective of those who aren't as often given the microphone, and is drawn to topics that tackle themes of injustice, psychological battles, and real life, real strength, endurance stories - both through a comedic and a dramatic lens.
