Biography

Deonte' Staats, a Philly native raised in Baltimore, pens gritty, secret laced, character-driven one-hour TV dramas and satirical half-hour dramedies. Staats, who identifies as bisexual, is a proud "Blerd" that sprinkles his love for sci-fi and comics into his storytelling. He attended North Carolina A&T, an HBCU where he majored in Computer Science and minored in English while producing TV commercials and performing spoken word. Don't tell his parents about his poetry tour and how he ended up at the NuYoRican Cafe.

Staats' storytelling as the Head Writer and Co-Executive Producer for all seasons of hit dramedy "À La Carte" on AMC's streamer ALLBLK has made it the number one scripted show on the network. With his experience as the Script Coordinator for season 2 of "Bel-Air" (Peacock) and co-writer of the penultimate episode for season 4 of "The CHI" (Showtime), Staats has established himself as a skilled and versatile writer. He also worked as a Writer's Assistant for Lee Daniels' pilot "The Spook Who Sat By The Door" (FX) and Ali Leroi's feature film "The Obituary of Tunde Johnson" (Hulu).

Staats' work doesn't stop there, he served as Producer and Assistant Director for numerous commercials for brands, like Bonefish Grill, ESPN, Food Network, and Intel Sports. With a passion for service and helping others, Deonte' has transitioned a former career in Training & Development to help other screenwriters break into the industry, non-traditionally. His Always Write workshops have graduated over fifty cohorts since 2018, into working Writer's Room support jobs and other TV & Film incubators.
