From the opening moments of CBS’ prestige courtroom procedural The Good Wife, it was clear that Robert & Michelle King had arrived on network TV ready to jolt viewers awake with razor-sharp dissections of political, judicial, and media institutions. For seven 22-episode seasons, the series’ acclaimed writing, production, and performances pushed the boundaries of broadcast expectations, and their next endeavor -- sing-songy, aliens-invade-Capitol-Hill dramedy Braindead — only further cemented the Kings as one of TV’s most inventive and prescient writing duos (giving new extraterrestrial life to ‘80s earworm ‘You Might Think’ in the process). Now, at the conclusion of Season 2 of the CBS All Access flagship drama The Good Fight (with a Showtime series on the way), listen to these writers/executive producer/showrunners for a discussion on what this current moment in news/politics means for creatives, and what makes their singular brand of political observation and dark humor more timely than ever.

Episode Guests: Robert King, Michelle King

With Peak TV infinitely expanding the options for networks and platforms, the ""backend"" of television is shifting more than ever towards the importance of ""content ownership."" Historically, there have been major independent studios (Sony, Warner Brothers), and network-based studios (20th Century Fox, ABC Studios), but now there are emerging studios acting as a hybrid between traditional studio and production company, wearing many different hats in creating content that ends up on traditional broadcast, cable, and platforms. Listen to both sides as these executives discuss the current state of how TV is ending up on your screens, and where it could end up next year.

Episode Guests: Marci Wiseman (Co-President of Television, Blumhouse), Ali Krug (VP of Television, Annapurna), Lauren Whitney (President of Television, Miramax), Pancho Mansfield (President, Global Scripted Programming, eOne)
