Employment Resources

Showrunner Hub

The Showrunner Hub provides resources to help showrunners negotiate for the staffing they need to get the work done.

Members

Welcome to the Showrunner Hub.

The 2023 MBA, for the first time, established requirements for the minimum number of writers who must be hired on series, as well as the minimum length of time they must be employed. These provisions set a floor, giving showrunners a starting point to negotiate better-than-minimum staffing terms to meet the needs of their show. The Showrunner Hub provides resources to help showrunners negotiate for the staffing they need to get the work done.
