As television has grown and expanded to include new, innovative formats and platforms, westerns have remained a popular genre and consistent source for stories among writers and show creators. In this panel discussion, writers and producers from the latest crop of TV westerns share insight into the creation of their series, how they’re reimagining the genre, and why stories out of the American West continue to inspire.
Panelists:
Hunt Baldwin – writer and executive producer, Longmire
Kevin Murphy – writer and executive producer, The Son, Defiance
John Wirth – writer and executive producer, Hap and Leonard, Hell on Wheels, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
Stay tuned for more panelist announcements.
