  • Show Runner
rdfs:comment
  • In short, the executive producer who serves as the head writer. The longer answer is that the showrunner is the person who gives the show its tone and direction. The initial showrunner is usually the creator (frequently the writer of the Pilot). As the years pass, the original showrunner may leave and a new one may join - this can often be a Jump the Shark or Growing the Beard moment.
