Green, Misha

Overseeing a show entails a lot of responsibility, but the time and energy that goes into creating one is extremely rewarding. As the show travels from an idea into production to become a polished product, showrunners assume many different roles throughout this process. These showrunners will discuss their role in the show and on set, how they participate in the writers room, and their day-to-day duties during production.

Writer-producer Misha Green isn’t afraid to push boundaries. Underground broke new ground in the historical drama by exploring American heroes through a unique blend of modern music and genre writing. Join Green for a conversation on her experience as a first time showrunner, having to say goodbye to a story before it's finished, and what she's working on next.
