Cody is currently working on her talk show pilot ME TIME WITH DABILO CODY for TBS. Her TV work includes Showtime's United States of Tara and Alex + Amy for ABC, as well as two episodes for Childrens Hospital.

She both wrote and directed her new film Paradise. Cody's other screenwriting credits include Juno, which won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Jennifer's Body and Young Adult.
