Lilly Wachowski (born December 29, 1967), is an American film director, writer and producer, most famous for co-creating the The Matrix series together with her sister Lana Wachowski. For the larger part of their careers, Lilly and Lana had worked together in tandem and were always credited as a team since their directing debut in 1996. After creating the web TV series Sense8, they have both started working their own solo projects starting with the 2nd season of Sense8 for Lana on 2016 and with Work in Progress for Lilly on 2019.

Lilly is one of four sisters and was born to her mother Lynne Luckinbill (maiden name) and her father Ron Wachowski. Her other three sisters are Lana, Laura, and Julie. Julie is a screenwriter and novelist and assistant coordinator in the Wachowskis' film Bound.[1]
