Jonathan towers, FOX NATION VICE-PRESIDENT

I am a Drama Director & Showrunner with 20 years experience working on blue chip drama-documentaries & premium factual for Netflix, Fox Nation, Channel 4, History & Discovery. In the last two years I have written and directed the drama on four seasons of Jesus Crown of Thorns (2025)  for Fox Nation (shot on location in Morocco) and The White House (Romania), which is due to TX in 2026. Both series are heavily scripted, premium-history shows with incredible casts and stunning cinematography, filmed on some of the biggest studio backlots  in Europe and North Africa. My directing work also includes  The Lost Pirate Kingdom (2022) for Netflix which went Top-10 in over 30 countries. As a Showrunner, I was responsible for Netflix’s smash-hit The Last Czars (shot on location in Lithuania), created the first season of Nat Geo's Nazi Megastructures (which went on to run for seven seasons), and also helped mastermind Season One of Ancient Apocalypse (2023)  (Netflix.)
