THINK TANK II | SHOWRUNNING IN EUROPE: SPOTLIGHT ON CHRIS CHIBNALL (»BROADCHURCH«)
Wednesday, May 31, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (CEST)
Online
Showrunner Chris Chibnall (»Broadchurch«, »Doctor Who«) granted insights into his individual approach to showrunning and into the current situation for showrunners in Europe with a focus on the UK market.
The UK was one of the first European countries to adopt the showrunner model from the US. Today, a large number of British series are produced using variations of the showrunner model. BAFTA and Peabody Award-winning screenwriter, executive producer and playwright Chris Chibnall is one of the pioneers of this approach. In this session, he looked back at the transition from traditional working methods to this innovative form of series production. He reflected on the development of his own personal showrunning style, and discussed the opportunities this new position offers to promote a much-needed shift towards a more diverse, equal and inclusive series market.
