Ted Mann, a writer-producer who won an Emmy for producing NYPD Blue and also earned nominations for producing Homeland and Deadwood and for writing Hatfields & McCoys, has died. He was 72.

Our sister site Variety said his daughter Elizabeth Mann revealed that Mann died September 4 of lung cancer in Los Angeles.

Along with his producing Emmy for NYPD Blue as Outstanding Drama Series in 1995, Mann was nominated in the category three other times — for NYPD Blue in 1994, Deadwood in 2005 and Homeland in 2016. He also scored Emmy noms for writing NYPD Blue and the 2012 miniseries Hatfields & McCoys. He also won a Writers Guild Award for the latter and picked up back-to-back WGA noms for Deadwood in 2006 and 2007.

Mann got his start in the late 1970s writing for ABC’s Delta House — one of three TV series inspired by the 1978 film Animal House — and the animated Drawing Power, from the creators of Schoolhouse Rock. He got more steady work in the late ’80 and into the 1990s, penning more than a dozen episodes of ABC’s 1991-93 legal drama Civil Wars.

After that series wrapped, Mann joined the network’s gritty cop drama NYPD Blue as a writer and producer. Starring David Caruso and Hill Street Blues alum Dennis Franz, the show’s first season made the primetime Top 20 and would rank No. 7 the following year while racking up Emmy noms and wins. He was a writer-producer on the show for its first two seasons and later penned episodes for Seasons 5 and 6.

His next gig was as a writer-producer for Millennium, the X-Files follow-up series from Chris Carter. When that Fox series wrapped after three seasons, Mann was a writer-producer on Showtime’s Total Recall 2070, which aired a single season in 1999.

During the 2000s, he wrote episodes of Judging Amy and Andromeda and the miniseries Skin before landing a writer-producer gig on HBO’s dark Western Deadwood. He wrote more than a half-dozen episodes during its three seasons from 2004-06 and was a producer on the last two.

Mann went on to write and produce for HBO quirky drama John from Cincinnati and Starz’s first original drama series Crash, based on the Best Picture Oscar-winning movie. His next writing jobs came with the Emmy-laden History Channel miniseries Hatfields & McCoys starring Kevin Costner and Bill Pullman, along with an episode of Starz’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan-led crime drama Magic City in 2013.

Mann found more big success with his next series, joining Showtime’s spy thriller series Homeland for its fifth season in 2015. He stayed with the show as a producer through its penultimate seventh season and wrote multiple episodes of its fifth and sixth.

He also co-wrote screenplays for a pair of features — Robert Altman 1985 buddy comedy O.C. and Stiggs and Stuart Gordon’s 1996 sci-fi comedy Space Truckers starring Dennis Hopper and Stephen Dorff, on which he also was a producer.

Along with his daughter Elizabeth, per Variety, Mann is survived by two other children, Lucy and James and their spouses; siblings Bayne Mann and Tish Scott and their spouses; and grandchildren Virginia Wallace, Graham Wallace and Magnus Bujold.
