Screenwriter, TV & Film

Previously, on...

Nicole is a writer for screen, working across comedy and drama.

Born in Lautoka, Fiji and raised in Sydney, Australia, Nicole brings a global, transnational perspective to her storytelling. She is drawn to characters who live between worlds and challenge the roles they've been given, often navigating systems that were never built for them. Her work is character-driven, with a sharp eye for humour and emotional truth, exploring power, agency, belonging, and identity.

Nicole is currently in development on a sports-comedy feature film, her own original comedy series with Goalpost Pictures, and a new thriller series with the assistance of the Co-Curious Diaspora Story Lab. She is also co-developing a book adaptation with writer Blake Ayshford for production company Photoplay, alongside her own original projects.

In 2023 and 2024 Nicole co-wrote 2 episodes of the series Four Years Later with Easy Tiger and SBS, and wrote one episode and co-writing one episode of Swift Street with Magpie Pictures. Both series were released on SBS.

She has worked on TV series in development with major production companies including Fremantle Media, Blackfella, Easy Tiger and Bunya Productions.

In 2018 Nicole was the recipient of a Screen NSW script department attachment on Foxtel/Lingo's Lambs of God and in 2021 she worked as a Script Coordinator on an HBO feature.

While completing her Graduate Diploma in Screenwriting in 2014, Nicole penned a short film called A Boy Called Su directed by Vedrana Musić, which won Best Coming of Age at HollyShorts Film Festival in the US and the Special Jury Award at Golden Panda Awards, Sichuan TV Festival in China. The short was also selected for the St. Kilda Film Festival, Flickerfest and many other international film festivals.

Nicole writes character-led stories and is interested in both original and adapted projects across genres.

Is it too much to ask for a brown villain?

SBS SPICE / 2025

Writing brown characters isn't just creative. It's political. From brown villains to badly researched accents to the pressure to be "positive," this episode asks who gets to be complex, messy and wrong on screen in 2026. Dilpreet Taggar is joined by Urvi Majumdar, Nicole Reddy and Sunanda Sachatrakul to talk about work that refuses neat ideas of representation.
