Whilst a teenage student at Wellington College, Berkshire, Kay met director Jim Field Smith, with whom he often collaborates.

Kay began his career in non-scripted entertainment, serving as head of development at Twenty Twenty Television and head of factual at Blast! Films, where he co-created productions such as The Choir, Evacuation, and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Kay became a full-time writer in 2009, after he won the Brit List with his feature script Good Luck Anthony Belcher. He went on to write episodes of The Hour for the BBC, The Tunnel for Sky, and two episodes of the first season of Killing Eve.

Whilst writing the script for Litvinenko, Kay had access to transcripts of Alexander Litvinenko's eighteen hours of deathbed interviews with the London Metropolitan Police. Litvinenko's widow, Marina, and the Metropolitan Police supported the production of the series. The show has been sold to over eighty international territories.
