Guy Ferland was born in Beverly, Massachusetts in the United States, and was inspired to pursue a career as a filmmaker after watching Alfred Hitchcock's 1946 classic Notorious. He attended the School of Cinema and Television at the University of Southern California, from which he graduated in 1988. Almost immediately, Ferland was hired as an assistant to director Joel Schumacher; his first credit came on the 1989 romantic comedy Cousins, and they also worked together on movies like Flatliners and Falling Down. For Schumacher's 1994 film The Client, Ferland was promoted to associate producer. He then tackled his first assignment as a director: the 1995 Alicia Silverstone thriller The Babysitter, which he also co-wrote. Ferland started to move into television in the late Nineties, initially directing the telefilm Our Guys: Outrage At Glen Ridge.

Although he would make two more movies -- the critically-acclaimed Bang Bang You're Dead and the romance sequel Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights -- television became Ferland's primary medium after the turn of the century, with work on shows like The Shield, Prison Break, Saving Grace and Sons Of Anarchy. In 2011, he directed three episodes of the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, which was then being primarily made in the United States as part of a co-production arrangement between the BBC and the American network Starz. Amongst Ferland's other credits during the 2010s were The Walking Dead, SWAT, Yellowstone and more than twenty episodes of the Sherlock Holmes procedural Elementary. He also earned credits as both a director and a co-executive producer on Into The Badlands. During the Twenties, Ferland directed for programmes such as Mayor Of Kingstown, Chicago PD and Locke & Key.
