Episode 10: Billy Ray talks with four top TV showrunners.
Throughout the duration of the Writers Guild Strike, Deadline is running a weekly podcast called Strike Talk. This week’s episode is hosted by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Billy Ray. Via Deadline about Episode 10:
As the Writers Guild-AMTPT standoff hits double digits, Deadline’s Strike Talk podcast host Billy Ray focuses on a topic as important as his masterful recent conversation with AI. Writers rooms are the pipelines of talent that turn rookies into showrunners, the ones that make billions for studios and networks with hit shows.
On this week’s Episode 10, Billy Ray hears the stories of Courtney Kemp (The Good Wife and creator of the Power Universe), Nkechi Okoro Carroll (All American), Sera Gamble (You, The Magicians) and Greg Berlanti (The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale) to learn how growing up in a writers room turned them into the prolific profit-generating superstars they are today. And why gutting those rooms to save a few bucks is a shortsighted strategy that will disturb the creative ecosystem. The one that hatches top talent that makes profitable hit shows.
