Ashley C. Bradley is an American television writer and producer. She is known for her work on the animated series Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, 3Below: Tales of Arcadia, and What If...?.
In August 2019, it was announced Bradley would be the head writer and executive producer of the Marvel Studios animated series What If...?, which was released on Disney+ on August 11, 2021. She also served as consulting producer and writer on Ms. Marvel.
Bradley's first feature film, Much Ado, which is based on the William Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, is currently in active development at Sony Pictures. Nisha Ganatra is attached to direct and Will Gluck is producing. Bradley and Gluck are also writing the script for a film adaptation of the video game Just Dance, with Gluck set to direct.
Bradley is from the borough of the Bronx in New York City. She studied international relations and English literature at Boston College and graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts with a master's degree and a M.F.A. degree in screenwriting. She has a daughter, born in early 2021. Bradley found out that she was partially infertile during the COVID-19 pandemic, so she decided to have children as soon as she could, crediting the pandemic and Marvel Studios employees Danielle Costa and Victoria Alonso for inspiring her to "take the leap". In 2025, she lost her home in Altadena, California to the January 2025 Southern California wildfires.
