Julie Annette Rovelstad Andem (born 4 July 1982) is a Norwegian screenwriter, director, and television producer.

Andem worked in the children's division of NRK for several years. At NRK, she created and wrote the show Jenter, which means "girls" in Norwegian. [3] [4]
Skam began because NRK executives wanted to reach more teenage girls in its programming.

She then auditioned over 1,200 young actors and then created characters around the cast. [3] [4] [5]
Andem was the creator and showrunner of Skam, and she wrote and directed all 47 episodes throughout Skam's four seasons. Season 1 premiered on NRK in September 2015 and season 4 ended in June 2017. [3]
The series was widely popular in Norway and globally.
