Overview
- Multiple reports say 101 Studios production executive Scott Stone is acting as the de facto showrunner in Atlanta, working with unit production managers Rebecca Rivo and Christian Agypt.
- None of the on‑set leads identified as running day‑to‑day operations are involved in writing or directing, an arrangement crew members describe as unusual and confusing.
- Season 4 began shooting after 26 crew across stunts, sound, transportation, and hair were dismissed and replaced just days before cameras rolled.
- Affected crew members criticized the notification process, with some learning of their replacement through job listings or being told to leave equipment after Season 3 and later informed they had no job.
- Terence Winter returned as head writer and executive producer, leading the writers’ room from Los Angeles, following years of leadership churn that included Winter (Season 1), Craig Zisk’s informal oversight (Season 2), and Dave Erickson’s tenure in Season 3.
