Introducing Showrunner: The Netflix of AI

Showrunner, the 'Netflix of AI', enables users to create their own TV series using AI technology. The platform includes ten TV shows created with Showrunner's text-to-episode method and exhibiting a variety of animation styles. Exit Valley, a satirical animated comedy set in Silicon Valley, is one of the shows debuting as part of the launch.

In Showrunner’s ‘Netflix of AI’, users will be able to make TV shows and episodes from their couch, describing the episode they want, waiting a few minutes and then start watching

Showrunner, the brainchild of The Simulation (previously Fable Studio), the firm behind South Park's revolutionary AI episode generator, is introducing its own creation platform. This unique tool enables users to build their own television shows using artificial intelligence. Showrunner is revealing ten TV shows created with their text-to-episode technology, each with a unique style ranging from anime to Pixar-style animation, as well as South Park's trademark cutout technique. Founder and CEO Edward Saatchi characterises it as "the Netflix of AI," allowing users to watch and create their own episodes.

Fable is announcing 10 TV shows (eight of which are above) as part of its ‘Netflix of AI’, Showrunner, where users can make their own TV shows, and put themselves in shows

Fable has announced 10 TV series for Showrunner's 'Netflix of AI', including Series Hutzpa!, Exit Valley, Pixels, Sim Francisco, and What We Leave Behind. All of these performances are situated in the virtual realm of Sim-Francisco and can be created with a simple 10-15 word prompt. The AI-powered system manages everything from conversation and voice to editing, camera styles, and consistent character development. While users can customise their episodes by editing scripts, pictures, and voices, Showrunner is designed to be easy to use for non-technical and non-professional users.


Philipp Maas, co-creator of Showrunner, emphasises the platform's usability, saying that "generating a new TV show should be as easy as browsing Netflix for a show." As part of the launch, Showrunner will release two episodes of Exit Valley, a satirical animated comedy set in Silicon Valley that stars iconic names such as Musk, Zuck, and Sam Altman. The show plans to air 22 episodes in its inaugural season, with some made by Fable and others chosen from user submissions by a jury of filmmakers and creatives. Additionally, two other series, Ikiru Shinu and Shadows over Shinjuku, which are set in Neo-Tokyo and have distinct anime styles, will allow user input later this year.


Fable has also published a research paper detailing the development of the SHOW-1 model and AI Showrunner Agents, which can write, produce, direct, cast, edit, voice, and animate AI-generated TV episodes. The success of Fable's South Park AI episodes, which garnered over 8 million views and attracted the attention of major studios like Fox, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony, led to the creation of Showrunner.


Edward Saatchi, an Emmy-winning producer and former head of Oculus Story Studio, believes that AI is more than simply another tool in the entertainment industry; it is a disruptive force that will transform storytelling. He envisions a future in which people not only watch shows but also create new episodes with a few words. Showrunner enables showrunners to experiment with their tales in real-time, continuously improving and iterating their vision. It reimagines the concept of a television show, allowing fans to watch, enjoy, and immediately become the makers of the next episode.
