Television production leadership
Showrunning is the work of being a showrunner—the person with creative control and day-to-day management of a television series.
The role combines writing, producing, and executive decision-making: She's been showrunning for three seasons now.
The term emerged as television prestige grew and the creative authority behind series became a point of interest.
