Producers
The series was created by Terence Winter. Winter is an executive producer and the series show runner. He was previously a writer and executive producer on The Sopranos and has won multiple awards for his work on that series. He drew several crew members from The Sopranos to work on Boardwalk Empire.
In developing the series Winter worked closely with fellow executive producer and pilot director Martin Scorsese. Winter stated that Scorsese weighs in on the casting decisions, watches all the cuts and dailies. Up until the shooting of the show's first season, Scorsese and Winter would meet every Sunday afternoon to review what went on during the week and where Scorsese would have comments and suggestions.[1][2]
Scorsese and Winter are joined as executive producers by Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson and Tim Van Patten. Van Patten had been a regular director on The Sopranos and also served as a regular director for Boardwalk Empire. Lawrence Konner was a co-executive producer. Konner also wrote for the show and had previously been a writer on The Sopranos. Howard Korder and Margaret Nagle served as supervising producers and writers for the first season. The crew were recognised with multiple Emmy Award nominations for their work on the first season.
