Showrunners

[irehtman]

Definitions:

1.) A person who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of a television series—although such persons are credited as executive producers.

2.) At the opposite end of the staff hierarchy from runners, who are the most junior members of the production team, although showrunners are sometimes called runners for short.

3.) Their duties often combine those traditionally assigned to the writer, executive producer and script editor.

Here are the strongest concerns:

1.) They are strongly independent, but not yet completely.

2.) Their decisions are supposed to be strongly precise, but not all the time.

3.) There could be a chance that a TV network might be under a big crisis, such as a general financial collapsing incident, and they made forceful urgent orders to showrunners right away.

No perfection is made on showrunners, unfortunately.

Don't feel bad. You're not the only one on here who has no clue what he's asking.

Showrunners are not all the independent, they can get force-ordered by a TV network sometimes.
