On this episode of The Showrunner Whisperer (produced by Multiverse of Color,) we welcome KETO SHIMIZU as our first guest as our Andy chats with her about how she joined the world of Hollywood as a screenwriter and explores her personal journey in becoming a showrunner for the first time. Before landing the role as the co-showrunner for DC's Legends of Tomorrow, we explore Keto's origin story of how she first got into Hollywood and what she learned from her first TV/movie gigs before transitioning into the role as showrunner for the first time. Keto also shares about dealing with Legends of Tomorrow not being picked up for another season during a network shake-up, the power of the fandom, potential season 8 arcs, and what is next for her.
