Course Description

The term “showrunner” appeared in the US at the turn of the 20th century to denote a new type of profession that came into existence simultaneously with the rise of the Second Golden Age of Television, and its content is, simply put, the manager of the show.

The role of the showrunner as a specific profession at the intersection of producing, screenwriting and directing is not established in the Czech Republic yet. While we do not see the role listed in the end credits in the Czech TV environment or discussed by the academia, showrunners do exist in the Czech environment – primarily in the sense of being the final creative decision makers. Most of them are referred to as ‘creative producers’ and employed in TV channels or private firms. The purpose of the subject is to explain and understand the reality of the current showrunners and try to live it in practice.
