If writers' rooms were like superhero teams, this panel is the Justice League and The Avengers of the writing world. The scribes behind some of today's hottest genre shows share their candid thoughts on how to write and rewrite the series that you love. Find out the deep, dark secrets (and low-calorie snacks) of the writers' room, and why network executives actually care about what you write on message boards. Get the straight scoop on how shows go from inside their heads to a dry erase board, to your television sets and tablets. Moderated by Sony Pictures Television's jocular senior VP of drama development & production Chris Parnell, this year's heroic lineup includes Jesse Alexander (Agent X, Heroes, Lost, Hannibal), Michael Narducci (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Medium), not so savage SteveHolland (The Big Bang Theory), Sarah Watson (Parenthood, About a Boy), Ashley E.Miller(Terminator, Fringe, Andromeda),Steve Melching(Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Rebels, Guardians of the Galaxy Animated), Gabrielle Stanton(The Flash, Haven, Castle), Jose Molina(Agent Carter, Sleepy Hollow, Firefly), Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Helix, Lost, The Middleman),and Mark A. Altman(Femme Fatales, Castle, Necessary Roughness). Join the fun to see if they can all fit on one stage. Time to lay off those chocolate-covered pretzels!
