The Showrunner Role

What the showrunner role requires and how it has evolved

The Role

The showrunner role -- the specific position that the writer who serves as the creative and operational leader of a television series occupies -- is the specific leadership position whose requirements have evolved as the series formats, the production scales, and the specific creative demands of the television landscape have changed.

The Evolution

The evolution: the showrunner of the broadcast network era managed the specific production machine of the 22-episode series whose creative and logistical demands were the specific demands of that format. The showrunner of the streaming era manages the specific creative demands of the shorter, more cinematic series format whose production scale is larger per episode and whose season count is smaller. The specific skills the role requires have shifted accordingly.
