Early career

Initial projects (2001–2004)

Ben Queen graduated from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in 1996. This education equipped him with the skills to navigate the competitive entertainment landscape, though the years immediately following graduation involved the typical challenges of establishing a career in , including a period of limited credited work before his first major opportunity. Queen's initial credited project was the 2001 television movie Proximity, which he co-wrote with Seamus Ruane under director Scott Ziehl. The thriller follows William Conroy, a former college professor (played by Rob Lowe) serving a life sentence for vehicular manslaughter, who overhears two prison guards plotting a murder and subsequently becomes their target while seeking help from a victims' rights group led by James Coburn's character. Produced by Zinc Entertainment Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television on a budget of approximately $6 million, the film emphasized themes of corruption and survival within the prison system. It premiered as a made-for-TV movie, marking Queen's debut in feature-length scripting and highlighting his ability to craft tense, character-driven narratives early in his career. In 2004, Queen contributed to episodic television with his writing credit on the single episode "Without a Tracer" from the CBS legal drama series Century City, where he also served as a consulting producer. Aired on December 30, 2004, and directed by Peter Markle, the episode centered on futuristic legal cases, including a family's lawsuit against a child-tracking company after their daughter's abduction despite her implanted tracer device failing to alert authorities, alongside a subplot involving pre-crime prediction technology. The series, created by Marc Guggenheim, blended science fiction elements with courtroom proceedings to explore ethical dilemmas in a near-future society, but it struggled with ratings and was pulled from the schedule after its first three episodes in March 2004, though three more aired in June 2004 and the remaining three in January 2005; only 9 episodes were produced in total.) Queen's script for the episode exemplified his emerging style in integrating speculative technology with human conflict, serving as a bridge from one-off projects to more serialized storytelling.

Breakthrough with Drive (2007)

Ben Queen's breakthrough came with the 2007 Fox miniseries Drive, which he co-created with Tim Minear. The series centered on an illegal, high-stakes cross-country road race where participants, bound by mysterious rules and personal secrets, compete for a $32 million prize while evading authorities and rivals. Fox initially ordered 13 episodes, but production halted after six due to budget constraints and scheduling, with the show premiering as a two-hour special on April 13, 2007. As co-creator, Queen served as an alongside Minear and , overseeing the ensemble-driven narrative that intertwined backstories of diverse racers. He also contributed as a on at least two episodes, shaping the high-tension sequences and character arcs. The featured as the enigmatic racer Alex Tully, as the determined Corrina Wiles, and a young as Violet Trimble, among others like and , whose performances added depth to the thriller's interpersonal dynamics. Critics offered mixed reviews, praising the slick production and ensemble chemistry but critiquing the pacing and lack of originality in its race premise, which echoed films like . Despite a promising debut drawing 6 million viewers, subsequent episodes saw declining ratings, leading to cancel the series after a two-hour on April 13 (episodes 1–2), and subsequent episodes on April 16 and 23, 2007, with the remaining two released online in July. Though short-lived, Drive garnered a for its ambitious concept and strong acting, particularly Fillion's charismatic lead. The project's failure did not derail Queen's career; instead, it solidified his reputation for crafting high-concept action-dramas, paving the way for future opportunities at networks like where he later developed series such as A to Z.

Television series

A to Z (2014–2015)

Ben Queen created the series A to Z, which premiered on in 2014 and centered on the employees of a matchmaking service called A to Z, where the protagonists Andrew and Zelda meet and navigate their relationship. The show starred as the optimistic Andrew, an executive at the company, and as the cynical Zelda, a who signs up for the service; their romance unfolds over eight months, three weeks, five days, and one hour, with each episode's title following the alphabet from A to Z. Drawing from the dynamics of modern , the series blended humor with heartfelt moments, structured around the couple's progression through relationship milestones. As creator, , and , Queen wrote or co-wrote multiple episodes, including the pilot, while collaborating closely with Rashida Jones and co-executive producer Will McCormack to shape the show's witty tone and ensemble dynamics. His experience from the 2007 series helped refine his approach to ensemble storytelling, allowing him to balance the central romance with supporting characters like Andrew's quirky best friend Stu () and Zelda's protective sister Lydia (). Queen penned key installments that highlighted the leads' chemistry, such as "B Is for " and "Z Is for ," emphasizing comedic scenarios in the dating world. The series explored themes of , including the uncertainties of online matchmaking, commitment, and personal growth, earning praise for its charming humor and the palpable on-screen between Feldman and Milioti. Critics highlighted the show's lighthearted take on tropes, with reviews noting its "sweet, sincere" and effective blend of rom-com elements, though some found the supporting cast's antics uneven; it holds a 67% approval rating on based on 48 reviews. This project marked a shift in Queen's style toward more optimistic , influencing his subsequent work in character-driven narratives. Despite producing a full 13-episode season, A to Z saw declining viewership after its October 2014 debut, with only the first five episodes airing in regular timeslots before announced its cancellation on October 31, 2014, opting not to renew beyond the initial order. The remaining episodes were made available for streaming on and NBC.com, allowing viewers to complete the season, which concluded on January 22, 2015. Over time, the series has garnered a dedicated following for its clever and relatable insights into , contributing to discussions on short-lived comedies with potential for .

Powerless (2017)

Powerless is an sitcom television series developed by Ben Queen as a workplace comedy set within the Comics universe, marking the first live-action series to feature no superheroes in its primary cast. The show centers on Emily Locke, portrayed by , a recent transplant to Charm City who joins the claims department at Wayne Security, an insurance subsidiary of that handles collateral damage caused by superheroes' battles in everyday life. In this world where metahuman powers exist, the series satirizes superhero tropes by focusing on the mundane struggles of ordinary employees navigating the chaos of superhuman incidents, such as property damage from villainous schemes or accidental destruction by members. Queen served as the creator, writer, and initial showrunner for Powerless, executive producing alongside Warner Bros. Television, which collaborated on the project to bring a lighthearted, non-action-oriented take to the DC universe. He penned the pilot episode, which introduced the ensemble at Wayne Security, including Danny Pudi as tech support specialist Bernie, Alan Tudyk as the bumbling Van Wayne (a distant cousin of Bruce Wayne), and Christina Kirk as the enthusiastic boss Jackie. However, Queen departed the series in August 2016 due to creative differences with NBC, leading to a production pause and the hiring of new showrunners Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker, and Jackie Beckerman, who reworked elements of the show before its premiere. Despite these changes, Queen's foundational vision of blending quick-witted banter with subtle DC Easter eggs—such as references to off-screen heroes like Superman or Lex Luthor—remained central to the humor. NBC ordered an initial 13-episode season for Powerless, but only nine episodes aired from February 2 to April 20, 2017, in the challenging 8:30 p.m. time slot, where it struggled against established hits like ABC's and CBS's , resulting in low ratings averaging around 3.5 million viewers per episode. The network pulled the remaining three produced episodes from its schedule amid poor performance and scheduling conflicts, effectively canceling the series after one season, though the full 12-episode run later became available on streaming platforms and DVD. Critics praised the show's clever concept and ensemble chemistry for its fresh of fatigue in a post-Marvel cinematic dominance era, with outlets highlighting Hudgens' charismatic lead performance and the series' relatable take on corporate drudgery amid extraordinary events, even as execution in later episodes drew mixed reviews for uneven pacing. This marked Queen's second short-lived outing, following A to Z, where he refined a similar blend of genre and romantic elements now applied to .
