She previously was managed by Brave Artists Management and continues with Lion Rock Management for worldwide representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shervey is best known as the creator and lead of <em>Crackhead<\/em>, a darkly comic series about addiction and rehab that premiered in March 2026 on HBO Max Australia and Channel Three in New Zealand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With over 100 episodes of original work to her name, including the series <em>Auckward Love<\/em> and <em>Millennial Jenny<\/em>, she&#8217;s one of the most prolific writer-creators to emerge from New Zealand in recent years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her international screen credits include Apple TV&#8217;s creature feature <em>The Tank<\/em> and Prime Video&#8217;s <em>American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artists First has been building momentum with its signings this year. The firm recently brought on <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/jason-lee-signs-with-artists-first-for-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jason Lee<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/mel-rodriguez-signs-with-artists-first-for-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mel Rodriguez<\/a>, signaling the company&#8217;s continued focus on multi-hyphenate talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shervey is currently in development on a trans-Tasman psychological thriller and a broadcast adaptation of <em>Millennial Jenny<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing is a meaningful step for Holly Shervey&#8217;s international career push. With <em>Crackhead<\/em> already airing in Australia and New Zealand and two projects in active development, the timing makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landing at Artists First alongside veterans Maggie Haskins and Peter Principato gives her a clear path toward broader US and international visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dual-management setup with Lion Rock Management suggests a deliberate strategy to keep her roots in the New Zealand market while aggressively expanding abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for Artists First, adding a creator with 100+ episodes already under her belt is exactly the kind of proven, low-risk bet that signals where the company is positioning itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could <em>Crackhead<\/em> follow the path of other dark comedies and land a major US streaming deal on the back of this signing? Will Artists First&#8217;s continued focus on writer-creator talent reshape how the firm is perceived in Hollywood?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand actor, writer, and creator Holly Shervey has signed with Artists First for management, with managers Maggie Haskins and Peter Principato now in her corner.
