Daniel Nettheim was born in Sydney, Australia where he became a fan of Doctor Who after watching the adventures of Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor during his childhood. In fact his uncle, David Nettheim, had played the ill-fated Fedorin in 1967's The Enemy Of The World. Nettheim began writing and directing short films during the mid-Nineties, which led to television work as a director of shows like Driven Crazy, as well as the Choose Your Own Nightmare series of video games. Assignments after the turn of the century included episodes of Love Is A Four-Letter Word, The Secret Life Of Us, Headland and Rush.

Nettheim's first professional connection with the worlds of Doctor Who came in the form of four 2010 episodes of K·9, the unofficial spin-off series produced in Australia. The next year, he co-wrote and directed the adventure movie The Hunter starring Willem Dafoe. Nettheim began to divide his time between Australia and the United Kingdom, with Dance Academy, Line Of Duty and Whitechapel amongst his credits. In 2015, he joined Doctor Who proper with The Zygon Invasion / The Zygon Inversion, an unusually gritty adventure for Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor. He was back for two more episodes in 2017 with Extremis and The Pyramid At The End Of The World, the first two installments of a trilogy about the sinister alien Monks.

Nettheim's subsequent projects included episodes of Broadchurch, while Ash Vs Evil Dead represented an opportunity to work in the United States. During the Twenties, he directed for shows such as Cursed, The Tourist and The Twelve.
