Ryan Murphy exemplifies the modern US TV mogul, operating as an 
executive producer, creator, showrunner, writer, and director on a wide 
range of series over the last twenty-two years.In addition to being 
prolific, Murphy’s TV outputs are also diverse in form, genre, and 
distribution. They are also united through a suite of stylistic, 
tonaland aesthetic similarities that make it possible to see his work as 
a cohesive whole.This special issue investigates the key concerns, 
forms, and central questions of Murphy’s television oeuvre, paying close 
attention to how and why his creative and business decisions have made 
him so powerful in the current television and subscription 
video-on-demand (SVOD) environment.
