The Showrunner Society is a hub for experienced showrunners, a way for writers, directors and producers to learn the craft of showrunning and a place for industry executives to access a pool of talent capable of making the shows they need. We bring together the best creative talent from around the world in a forum to share expe- riences, exchange ideas and access mentorship.

In 2014, we launched the world’s first Showrunner
Masterclass in New York City. We took our
Showrunner Masterclass around the world building
a unique approach to education and working with
the top international series creators. With our wealth of knowledge and understanding of the everevolving media landscape we created The Circle: The ultimate peer-to-peer experience.
The Circle.
A personalized, peer-to-peer experience, for the best up and coming talent to take their careers to the next level. The online and in person program brings top showrunners together with experienced writers, producers and executives from around the world to learn the complex skill set required to be a successful showrunner.
​
Hear from, speak to, and be paired with the world’s best in their field. No Circle is the same. Each participant is a valued member, both sharing knowledge and learning from the others.
We don't believe in
curriculums, we believe
in experience.
Our Goal.
We believe in the power of mentorship and the importance of supporting diverse new voices to confidently act as the vision holders of their own projects from conception to completion.
Learn from
the best.

What is
Showrunning?
Showrunning is best described as the process that takes a show
from scratch to screen, from creation to completion. There is not
one process that fits all. Like form follows function, the process
follows the vision of the show. Those who hold the vision and lead this process, from beginning to end, are called Showrunners.
