Showrunner
A showrunner (or colloquially a helmer) is the top-level executive producer of a television series production who has creative and management authority through combining the responsibilities of an employer and, in comedy or dramas, typically also the head writer, script, and story editor. They consult with network and studio bosses and lead the show's artistic vision, including the writer's room and editing department, and select the set design, staff, cast members, and each actor's wardrobe and hairstyle. In many instances, the showrunner also created the show, and subsequent seasons could feature different showrunners. While the director has creative control over a film's production, and the executive producer's role is limited to investing in television shows, the showrunner outranks the episodic directors.
