A massive fan of hard science fiction, he is best known for writing the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the films Wonder (2017), Enola Holmes (2020) and the latter's sequel (2022), and the television programme His Dark Materials (2019–2022). Between 2010 and 2015, Thorne co-wrote three mini-series – This Is England '86, This Is England '88, and This Is England '90 – with director Shane Meadows.  In 2023, Jack Thorne's four-part mini-series Best Interests was released, starring Michael Sheen and Sharon Horgan.
