Question about giving showrunners freedom and not running into AMC's current showrunner issues. He thinks the most important thing is setting up a trusting collaborative relationship. "That can't be a passive relationship," he emphasizes, noting that he hasn't had any showrunners he hasn't had conflicts with, but the network hasn't fired any showrunner in the network's history. He's proud of that history. "In terms of how we relate to these people and also, ultimately how we compensate them, we try really, really hard to have them continue," Landgraf says. He says this is important in terms of how shows continue and conclude. What does that mean in terms of "Walking Dead" with its myriad showrunners? "It looks to me that AMC managed to make a very successful transition," he says of the Frank-to-Glenn transition and "It remains to be seen if they can pull that feat off again."
