Married Duo Matriarch Productions Elevates Underrepresented Talent

In 2025, Stephen Graham and his wife Hannah Walters, both acclaimed actors, have been making waves in the entertainment industry as the co-founders of their production company, Matriarch Productions. The couple, who met while studying at the Rose Bruford College of Theatre & Performance over 15 years ago, have since collaborated on numerous projects, including the award-winning Netflix series Adolescence, in which Walters played a supporting role.

Recognizing the need to create more opportunities for underrepresented talent, Graham and Walters established Matriarch Productions in 2020 with the goal of developing stories and supporting new writers and directors. The duo's commitment to diversity and inclusion has been a driving force behind their work, as they strive to reflect the cultural diversity of their society.

Walters, who previously worked as a drama teacher, has also found success in her transition to producing. She has brought her unique perspective and creative vision to the projects she has worked on with her husband, helping to shape the narratives and characters in meaningful ways. The couple's chemistry and collaborative spirit have been praised by directors, who have described them as a "powerhouse of cinema" with an "infectious" positive energy on set.
