PASCAL VERSCHOORIS

Pascal’s journey into the world of film and television is as dynamic as his career itself. Originally hailing from France, he took a bold leap across the Atlantic in his early twenties, bringing his unique perspective and passion for storytelling to Canada. There, he found his niche—and eventually, his name—in the industry by producing critically acclaimed series that resonated with audiences worldwide. His early work with Showtime on series like Dead Like Me and Masters of Horror showcased his ability to blend thought-provoking narratives with intriguing, often supernatural elements, quickly setting him apart as a visionary in the field.

After establishing himself in Canada, Pascal took the next big step, moving to the United States. Here, his career reached new heights as he took on the role of producer for iconic CW series The Vampire Diaries. The series was not only a fan favorite but also showcased his skill in handling long-running, complex narratives that kept viewers engaged year after year. Pascal’s tenure on The Vampire Diaries cemented his status as a producer who understands how to bring intense drama and compelling characters to life.

As Pascal continued to expand his portfolio, he became involved in producing Dynasty, a modern reboot of the classic ’80s series, where he added his signature style to the show’s extravagant plots and unforgettable characters. In a memorable career milestone, Pascal even directed the 100th episode of Dynasty—an accomplishment that he describes with pride:

Directing the 100th episode of Dynasty was a dream come true. It was a chance to celebrate the team’s hard work and the show’s impact, while also putting a personal stamp on something that had become larger than any of us.

As his portfolio expanded, Pascal worked on The Umbrella Academy for Netflix and, more recently, We Were Liars for Amazon. These shows allowed him to explore new genres and adapt beloved stories for diverse audiences. His shift into directing has brought him closer to his craft, letting him shape stories from a deeply personal perspective.

Producing gives you the big picture, but directing lets you live in the moment, finding the story’s emotional core.

Pascal’s career reflects a passion for storytelling that crosses genres, themes, and even continents. Looking ahead, he remains eager to push the boundaries of television. With each project, Pascal redefines the landscape of television, creating shows that not only entertain but leave a lasting impact.
