Kenneth Johnson (born 26 October 1942) is an American screenwriter, producer and director best known as the creator of the television series V and The Incredible Hulk. His creative efforts are almost entirely concentrated in the area of television science fiction.

A native of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Johnson is a graduate of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. His early TV work includes The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman and The Incredible Hulk. Johnson created the character of Jaime Sommers and the Bionic Woman series.

In 1983, he gained fame for writing and directing the original mini-series V, an allegorical tale of World War II with aliens substituting for Nazis. The mini-series aired on NBC.

In 1989, he created the television series Alien Nation based on the 1988 Alien Nation film of the same name.

In 1997, he wrote and directed the movie Steel, based on the DC comic book character Steel. It featured basketball player Shaquille O'Neal as John Henry Irons, the character's alter-ego.

In 2004, Johnson proposed to the networks a sequel to V but was asked to write a script for a remake instead. If successful, the remake could lead to a sequel.

In 2006, Johnson announced his completion of a four hour script for a new V mini series called V (The Second Generation). The story line will take place 20 years after the original mini-series, bypassing the second mini-series and weekly television series. He is currently trying to sell his project to a television network.

In 2007, Johnson's efforts are still focused on getting his V mini-series into production and on the air. Johnson has delivered his final draft of the manuscript for his novel of V The Second Generation to Tor Books. It is set for release on February 5, 2008, per Kenneth Johnson's web site and amazon.com.
