show-run-ner / SHōˌrənər / n: 1. A hybrid of director, producer and/or writer for a TV program—AKA a behind-the-scenes expert as essential as the cast itself.

The producer/director has found a way to humanize some weird characters in absurd situations, like Key and Peele’s sketches and the apocalyptic Last Man Standing. His snaps are equally quirky.

131 Emmy nominations (Arrested Development and 24 among them). 1 instance of using Instagram to purchase extremely fine art (a Murakami painting). Enough said.

The “grown-up behind Girls” encourages hyper-personal writing on set, and she treats her own feed the same way, sharing what she’s reading and laughing about while also running Lena’s new Lenny Letter.

His first-ever spec script became USA’s Mr Robot, and he’s becoming known for his calm on-set manner and ability to think long-term. We just wish he posted more Dubsmashes and selfies.

Lee Daniels. Not a new name, and not a stranger to his 225k Instagram followers, but as the producer of Oscar-winning films (Monster’s Ball, Precious), he’s one of the reasons why Empire is so big and bold. It also makes sense that his Instagram is about 50% videos.
