“Fearless isn’t just their brand” says Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley in a recent issue of Produced By magazine. “They legitimately want to take risks and break new ground.” He’s talking, of course, about FX Networks, where president and general manager John Landgraf’s programming strategy has come to fruition over the past several years, with Hawley’s multiple Emmy winner as its standard bearer.
In this special Conversation, the showrunner and the network chief sit down to discuss what it takes to produce truly fearless television in the 21st century.
Speakers:
Noah Hawley, Fargo, The Unusuals
John Landgraf, Chief Executive Officer, FX Networks and FX Productions
Moderator:
Moderated by Vance Van Petten, National Executive Director, Producers Guild of America
