Bill Dubuque
Bill Dubuque is an American screenwriter from St. Louis, Missouri. He was born there and spent part of his teen years at the Lake of the Ozarks. He still lives in St. Louis with his wife and three children and visits the lake often.
He started his career as a recruitment headhunter before turning to screenwriting in 2008. Producer Mark Williams asked him to develop an idea into The Accountant. The film, starring Ben Affleck, was on the 2011 Black List of top unproduced screenplays and was praised for its portrayal of autism, with Autism Speaks noting the depiction.
Dubuque's first produced screenplay was The Judge (2012). It earned him recognition as one of Variety’s 10 screenwriters to watch and earned many Black List mentions.
In 2015 he pitched The Real McCoy to Universal Pictures, with Chris Pratt attached; the project remained in development for years. The Headhunter's Calling, retitled A Family Man, was released in 2016.
Dubuque helped create the TV series Ozark with Mark Williams and Jason Bateman, drawing on his teen experiences at the lake. Ozark premiered on Netflix in 2017, was renewed for additional seasons, and earned the writing team a Writers Guild of America Award nomination.
In 2019 he took over as screenwriter for the film adaptation of The Six Million Dollar Man. In 2024 he wrote and executive produced the Netflix series His & Hers.
