During her tenure at 20th and Universal, she wrote and executive produced two pilots, Behind Enemy Lines for FOX/20th and Red Zone for CBS/Universal, as well as wrote four others.
Toscano got her start hocking a pilot to CBS/Paramount, which was loosely based on her life (she fostered and adopted a 12-year-old kid from a children’s home when she was 25). She has since developed and sold pilots to such outlets as FX, FOX, Fox21, NBC, CBS and ABC.
On the staffing side, she has written and produced for various series, including A&E’s Bates Motel, FOX’s 24, NBC’s Shades of Blue, ABC’s Detroit 187 and ABC’s Revenge to name a few.
Hailing from the DC suburbs, Toscano lives in Los Feliz, California, and is the mother of three children, Justin, Finnley and Anouk.
