Entertainment Master Class (Emc), established in 2005 as a new platform for peer-to-peer TV industry education, has launched the Showrunner Society, a hybrid online/in-person community for showrunners and media executives. The first face-to-face masterclass is planned for this summer, hosted in Germany with supported from film funding agency Film- und Medienstiftung Nrw.
Described by Emd as “a new way for experienced writers and writing producers to learn the craft of Showrunning,” the platform was designed as a transmedia experience offering users the opportunity to meet and interact with established showrunners from their own regions and from around the world.
In addition to a wide-reaching range of online offerings, the jewel in the Showrunner Society’s crown will be its annual four-day, in-person Showrunning Masterclass where a small group of experienced writers, directors, producers and executives will be joined by showrunners from around the world for a series of mentoring sessions and potential shadowing opportunities.

Berger was more forthcoming, however, on the subject of expanding into Spanish-language TV and is currently looking for partners in Latin America and Spain to work on a new Top scripted TV series in development “Dick” – which focuses on FBI offices outside the U.S.
He told fellow U.S.-born Europe-based TV executive Steven Bawol (co-creator of police drama “Section de Recherches”), who was moderating the keynote: “I’d like to find an interesting show – that could bring to Spain what we have brought to France. We have some ideas but...

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is sticking with a November date for its 48th International Emmy Awards, the organization announced Tuesday. But in one change due to the Covid-19 pandemic, semifinal judging will now take place online.
Nominations will be announced in late September, while the awards gala is currently scheduled to take place on November 23. The International Academy said it “is exploring and working on various configurations for its November gala celebrations with an in-person component, should circumstances permit.”
The International Emmy judging panels are usually hosted by members at in-person events throughout the world.

Cannes -- Former HBO exec Chris Albrecht is taking crime drama from the streets of New Jersey to the streets of Spain and Rome during the height of the Renaissance for "The Borgias," produced by Gallic pay TV group Canal Plus and Lagardere Entertainment.
Written by Tom Fontana, "The Borgias" will follow the famous crime family through its reign of terror at the Vatican at the turn of the century when Rodrigo Borgia was pope. Fontana and Albrecht were in Cannes on Monday to continue discussions with potential European partners.
"There's a long history of attempted co-productions between the U.S. and Europe. I'd like to think of this as the inception of a modern co-production model," Albrecht said. "There's no longer simply this U.S. pipeline that pumps product out everywhere. This is really an opportunity to put together a unique partnership."
