Showrunner Sessions is our ongoing event series where we go one-on-one with a showrunner (or showrunning team) to find out, “What exactly does a showrunner do?” Find out what they look for in a writing staff, the lessons they’ve learned on the job, and their approaches to running the writers’ room.
For this session, we learn from the Creator, Executive Producer and Showrunner of Apple TV+'s Palm Royale. Hear how he creates multi-dimensional characters, how he writes toward the rhythms and voices of each actor’s performance, and how he navigates notes while staying confident in his ideas.
Moderated by Jenelle Riley (Deputy Awards and Features Editor, Variety).
