Euros Lyn was born in Cardiff, Wales and studied drama at the University of Manchester. He became an assistant director in the mid-Nineties on shows like Screen Two. He then began directing Wales-based programming, including episodes of Pam Fi Duw?, Belonging and A Mind To Kill. Soon after the turn of the century, Lyn also worked on Casualty and Cutting It. Lyn had been a fan of Doctor Who during his childhood and, when BBC Wales announced in 2003 that it was the new production home of Doctor Who, he eagerly offered his services to executive producers Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner. His first work on the programme was 2005's The End Of The World and The Unquiet Dead, featuring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor.

Lyn then directed the Children In Need Special (2005), a short piece for the BBC's annual charity appeal which introduced David Tennant's Tenth Doctor. He subsequently made nine full Tenth Doctor episodes, along the way introducing long-running characters Donna Noble (in 2006's The Runaway Bride) and River Song (in 2008's Silence In The Library / Forest Of The Dead). Lyn's last credited Doctor Who work was Tennant's final adventure, the two-part The End Of Time. However, he returned to oversee some additional shooting for The Beast Below, Matt Smith's second adventure as the Eleventh Doctor, when original director Andrew Gunn was unavailable. Lyn also directed all five episodes of the season-long serial Children Of Earth for spin-off series Torchwood, which aired in 2009. Other work during the decade included All About George, Jane Hall and Inspector George Gently.

In the 2010s, Lyn worked with Doctor Who's first three twenty-first-century showrunners: Davies on Cucumber, Steven Moffat on Sherlock, and Chris Chibnall on Broadchurch and its American remake, Gracepoint. Other credits included Black Mirror, His Dark Materials and six episodes of Last Tango In Halifax, plus Stateside work with Daredevil and Let The Right One In. In 2015, Lyn married Craig Hughes. His first feature film was the 2016 Welsh-language Y Llyfrgell (ie, The Library Suicides), for which he was also a producer; it co-starring Catrin Stewart, who had previously appeared in Doctor Who on a recurring basis as Jenny Flint. Lyn's career continued into the Twenties with a second movie, Dream Horse, starring Toni Collette.
