Christopher Hollier is an executive producer and co-showrunner of The CW science fiction series Roswell, New Mexico.[1][2]
Overview[]
Hollier previously worked as a writer and producer on various shows including The Originals, Once Upon a Time, and Elementary. He knows showrunner Carina Adly MacKenzie from working with her on The Originals.[3]
When MacKenzie was developing the show, she chose Hollier to be her co-showrunner. Hollier had shown that he respected and supported her when they worked together on The Originals.[3] One of the reasons she hired him is because she knew she needed to work with a man to deal with any misogyny that might come up,[4] and he wouldn't let people try to go over her head to him.[5] She describes Hollier as being "absolutely fucking brilliant, and so talented, and so kind, and so fucking fun to have a drink with" and "just the fucking best."[6]

He doesn't have twitter, so I tend to get all the attention for this show, but he is my partner in showrunning and without him I literally would've wandered off into the desert never to be heard from again.

- ↑ Tweet by Carina Adly MacKenzie: I knew when hiring a co-showrunner, it had to be a man. I've worked with many people who refused to listen to me because I was a young woman. Now that I'm showrunning, I don't have time to change those people's tiny minds. I wanted to be able to say "Fine, then listen to him." February 4, 2019.
- ↑ Tweet by Carina Adly MacKenzie: When people would try to "go over my head" to him, he'd remind them that I needed to be included in the conversation, because it's my show. When I was wrong about something, he helped me understand why. When I was right about something, he didn't senselessly challenge it. February 4, 2019.
