About Kenneth Lee Horton
Kenneth Lee Horton is a veteran television producer, writer, and director whose career has shaped some of the most iconic series in modern entertainment, including Smallville, The X-Files, and Millennium. A two-time Emmy nominee, two-time Golden Globe winner, and People’s Choice Award recipient, Horton is celebrated for blending gripping narratives with profound human insight.
Now, Kenneth brings his storytelling mastery to the world of fiction with The Ushering—a deeply psychological thriller that explores the shadowed corners of the human mind and the luminous possibilities of our collective evolution.
His voice is cinematic, his tone unapologetically raw yet soulfully redemptive. Inspired by decades spent in writers’ rooms and on sound stages, Kenneth’s fiction probes the mysteries of purpose, identity, and transcendence.
Outside the world of storytelling, Kenneth is a passionate observer of human potential, a believer in the next leap forward, and a father whose work often honors the resilience and complexity of women—especially young mothers, the emotional core of The Ushering.
