Amazon-backed Showrunner launches 'Netflix of AI' platform — and you can star in your own show
A startup that once made headlines for generating AI episodes of "South Park" is officially launching its next act today (July 30). And as someone who got early access to the service more than a year ago, I can honestly say it feels like this might be the future of streaming. Today, Showrunner, a San Francisco–based startup backed by Amazon and founded by Oculus and Pixar veterans, unveiled what it calls the "Netflix of AI," a platform that lets anyone generate custom TV shows and episodes in minutes using natural language prompts. Users can write an idea, upload a selfie and instantly star in their own sitcom, action series or satire, all animated and voiced by AI. The launch follows viral success from the company's "South Park" AI experiment, which drew more than 80 million views despite being unauthorized. Now, Showrunner is betting big on a new form of 'playable television,' where viewers are also creators, cast members and collaborators. 'The next big streaming platforms won't be passive,' CEO Edward Saatchi said. 'You'll describe the show you want to watch and start watching it within minutes. Then make new episodes, add yourself and your friends — fighting aliens, solving crimes, or starring in your favorite sitcom.' At the heart of Showrunner is SHOW-2, the company's proprietary AI model capable of writing, animating, voicing, editing and producing full episodes of television. Early access users can sign up now at where a waitlist of more than 100,000 people is already queued up to try the platform. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The product builds on Showrunner's original SHOW-1 model and AI Showrunner Agents, which can handle every role in a traditional TV pipeline, from writer's room to post-production. According to co-creator Philipp Maas, who led the team behind the South Park AI demos, the goal is to democratize Hollywood. 'Soon, anyone will be able to create their own hit show or become a showrunner for someone else's world,' Maas said. Showrunner's flagship launch title is "Exit Valley," a "Family Guy-style" animated series set in 'Sim Francisco.' The show lampoons tech giants like Sam Altman and Elon Musk, portraying a world where AI moguls promise to end work and money, while becoming the richest humans to ever live. 'Satire is the age-old tool of the powerless against the powerful,' Saatchi said. ''Exit Valley' lets people use AI to fight back—by putting themselves in the show and making scenes that mock the daily tech news.' Some of the first episodes were created by Fable, Showrunner's parent company, while others will be made by users and judged by a panel of filmmakers. The platform's episodic structure makes it easier for AI to handle, though Saatchi admits that 'epic arcs like 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones'' are still out of reach for AI storytelling. While OpenAI and Google have AI tools that can generate video or control software, Showrunner's edge is integration: the platform can animate, voice, edit and deliver a watchable episode without needing multiple tools. From experience, I can tell you that it's also far more interactive in that it lets users create within familiar IP worlds. The hands-on experience makes Showrunner more fun and creative for streamers. Saatchi envisions a future where Disney or Lucasfilm could offer branded models, 'Star WarsGPT' or 'PixarGPT,' that fans subscribe to in order to create stories within their favorite universes. 'The Toy Story of AI isn't just a cheaper movie,' he said. 'It's playable. You'll watch a film on Friday, and by Sunday there will be millions of fan-made scenes — all monetizable by the IP holder.' The launch of Showrunner marks a clear shift toward two-way entertainment. Instead of waiting years for renewals or green lights, creators can spin up a season on their own. It also gives aspiring writers and animators; especially those without Hollywood connections, a new path in. Just ask Dov Friedman, co-creator of indie TV pilot "Hutzpah," who said Showrunner finally gave his team the tools to bring their series to life after years of rejection. 'We couldn't even get a yes or a no,' Friedman said. 'Showrunner gave us everything we needed to develop a full season without a big studio.' With Amazon, Intel and Fable's Emmy-winning team behind it, Showrunner may be the first of many platforms redefining what it means to watch, make and be in a can expect more of the following: For now, users can sign up at to get started on creating their own shows.

A studio in a Beatles-inspired NYC co-op asks $425K
By the time Dr. Scott Keller walked through the whimsical lobby of 215 E. 24th St. in 2007, he already knew he was home. The longtime chiropractor and part-time musician had spent two years searching for an apartment. But the moment he stepped into the foyer — with its faux street lamps, Tudor timbers and a wrought-iron patio set evoking a Liverpool, England lane — he felt a rush of déjà vu. 9 A quirky studio has listed for $425,000 in one of Manhattan's most unusual co-ops: the Penny Lane, a former ice cream factory turned 1970s co-op known for its Beatles-inspired lobby. Marcio Honorato Photography 9 A photo of Penny Lane in Liverpool, made famous by a Beatles song. dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images 'I knew that this place was for me. I knew it was mine, and I knew I'd been there before,' Keller, 59, told The Post. 'There are no mistakes in the universe. Everything has some kind of synchronistic divine plan.' And he was right. After purchasing the more than 450-square-foot studio for $330,000, his mom told him they went to a party there with friends when he was a teenager. Now, nearly two decades later, Keller is parting ways with his beloved home at the Penny Lane co-op in Manhattan's Kips Bay. Listed for $425,000, the third-floor studio offers floor-to-ceiling windows, a Juliet balcony with city views, hardwood and tile floors and a ceiling fan. But it's the building's character that's driving the buzz. 9 The Tudor-style foyer designed to mimic a Liverpool streetscape makes the building a stand out. Marcio Honorato Photography Once home to the J.M. Horton Ice Cream Factory, the red brick building was converted into apartments in the mid-1970s by Beatles-obsessed developers. The Beatles, of course, were famously from Liverpool. The lobby was designed to mimic a quaint English streetscape, inspired by the Liverpool neighborhood referenced in the song 'Penny Lane.' 'It has this curious, cool lobby that recalls the kind of Tudor architecture of Liverpool,' listing representative Giulia Prestia of Century 21 Realty First told The Post. 'It harkens back to a New York City that we don't really see anymore.' 'And it has been maintained that way ever since,' she said. 9 Converted in 1976 by developers who were avid Beatles fans, the building's lobby was designed to evoke the song's lyrics, with red brick walls, Tudor-style timbers, faux slate roofs, porch-lit doorways and a black lamppost bearing a 'Penny Lane' sign in ornate script. Marcio Honorato Photography 9 Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, laundry on every floor, on-site parking, and a sprawling roof deck with views of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. Marcio Honorato Photography The co-op's interior plays up the theme with decorative facades, mock storefronts and a stylized streetscape that some visitors have compared to a scene from 'Willy Wonka.' 'Some people love it, some people hate it,' Prestia said. 'But it's very cool.' The building's past as a factory lends itself to some unusually lofty layouts. Though Keller's studio is a single-level unit, other apartments in the 179-unit building are duplexes or even triplexes, and some have generous proportions. 'Because it was a former ice cream factory … some of the units have extraordinarily tall ceilings,' Prestia said. 'That's not common, especially in neighborhoods like … Kips Bay.' 9 The Penny Lane, a seven-story co-op named after the iconic Beatles song. Michael Ochs Archives The co-op also features a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, laundry on every floor, and an expansive landscaped roof deck that once served as tennis courts and now offers views of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. There's also bike storage, a recycling program that caught Keller's attention early on, and one of New York City's first organized composting systems that predated the green boom. 'Back in the day, I mean in 2007, it was a big deal,' he said. The building once had even more overt Beatles references. The neighboring parking garage — once part of the Penny Lane complex — featured murals of 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' 'Abbey Road,' and 1950s icons like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. 'The developers were such Beatles fanatics that they had this mural commissioned,' Prestia said. 'When they renovated it, they painted right over it, which is such a huge loss.' 9 Dr. Scott Keller purchased the apartment in 2007 specifically for its Beatles lore — and he was drawn in part by a mural of Beatles album covers that once adorned the neighboring garage. Marcio Honorato Photography For Keller, who plays Beatles covers with his band and frequently performed at venues across New York and the Hamptons, the building was more than a home. 'It's sad because I love it. It's my baby,' he said. 'I've accomplished a great deal of success while I was living there, in my career and in my music career.' He added that the staff contributed to the home's magic. 'The people that work there on the staff have an energy and a joy about them,' Keller said. 'That is part of the feeling you get when you walk through the foyer.' Keller had long split his time between New York and Florida, but recently made the move permanent. 9 Now relocating to Florida, Keller is listing the third-floor unit, which features a Juliette balcony, southern exposure, and floor-to-ceiling windows — as well as this kitchen with good storage. Marcio Honorato Photography 9 isting agent Giulia Prestia noted that buildings like this are increasingly rare in a market that prioritizes sleek, modern design — this one offers something different: character, history and a sense of whimsy. Marcio Honorato Photography Renting the unit, he said, never felt like an option. 'The idea of renting it to other people, taking my space is making me crazy,' he said. 'And I don't want to rent it, so I just have to emotionally detach from it.' Still, Prestia thinks the apartment will strike the right chord with someone new. 'To find something at that price point in New York City is really quite rare,' she said. 'It's a great step up for someone who might be living with roommates and wants to make a move to owning.'
