Robert M. Sertner

Sertner switched his sights from long-form to series television in 2010 on NO ORDINARY FAMILY for Greg Berlanti and ABC Studios. Next came ABC's hit drama REVENGE, followed by multiple pilots, including MISTRESSES, which he developed and which ran for four seasons on ABC. That was followed by the series BLOOD & OIL as well as another successful series, QUANTICO, in addition to four seasons of the Peabody Award-winning series, UnREAL, which has been nominated for multiple Emmy awards and which has enjoyed phenomenal critical acclaim. Prior to that, he developed and produced the record-shattering docudrama THE PREGNANCY PACT for Lifetime Television - a docudrama which premiered with ratings that catapulted it to become one of the highest rated movies in Lifetime's history.

Robert Sertner has developed and produced series television, low-budget theatricals, and over 125 movies for television, enjoying a reputation of delivering consistently high-rated entertainment with much sought-after talent including directors, writers, authors and actors. He has produced projects starring some of the biggest names in entertainment including: Brad Pitt, Hillary Swank, George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan, Courtney Cox, William H. Macy, Shirley MacLaine, Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, and Tom Selleck, among many others. Sertner began his show business career in the mailroom of Dick Clark Productions. He later moved to Filmways Television, where he produced a half hour comedy pilot for NBC. But the turning point of his career came when he met another dynamic independent producer, Frank von Zerneck, with whom Sertner teamed in 1988 to form von Zerneck/Sertner Films - which is still recognized as one of the leading independent suppliers of long-form entertainment in the world.
