Shepard has directed 10 television pilots that have gone to series — or the tone-setting pilot episodes of shows with straight-to-series orders — including Criminal Minds, Ugly Betty, for which he won an Emmy, Rosewood, Salem, Sweetbitter, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and Acapulco, now in its third season on Apple. Shepard also directed 12 episodes of HBO’s Girls, several episodes of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and the final two episodes of Hulu’s limited series Welcome to Chippendales.
