What does a showrunner do?

A Showrunner is the head creative and managerial lead of a television show, responsible for overseeing all aspects of production, from scripting to final edits. They manage writers, directors, and production teams to ensure the show aligns with its vision and budget. Unlike a director, who focuses on individual episodes, the Showrunner maintains consistency across the entire series. Their role is a blend of storytelling, business management, and leadership.
