Casey Scharf is the self-aggrandizing creator, writer, and executive producer of Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss, an international travel series streaming on Peacock and airing on MSNBC. In its first season, the show and its director, Niharika Desai, won the Directors Guild Award for Best Direction in Reality Programming and was also nominated for a Critics Choice Award.

 

Previously, Casey derived his inflated sense of self-worth as a producer on Starz’s football docuseries Warriors of Liberty City—executive produced by Lebron James. He also served as a writer/producer of Viceland’s Emmy-nominated series Vice World of Sports.

 

Casey’s screenplay, Julian Thieves, earned him dozens of agonizing coffee meetings after being recognized by the Black List in 2013.​​

​

Up next, Casey will head to Ireland to film a documentary series starring Bill Murray.
