'FlashForward' getting new showrunner
"FlashForward" is getting another new showrunner.
Co-creator David Goyer is stepping down from his role running the series, sources confirmed.
The "Dark Knight" scribe will still be "involved" with the show, but will focus on feature films and directing.
Goyer had limited hands-on TV series experience, so "EliStone" co-creator Mark Guggenheim was brought on as showrunner after his"FlashForward" pilot received a pickup to help with the launch of the mystery dramabased on Robert Sawyer's novel.
After the show struggled out of the gate, Guggenheim stepped down as showrunner in October and was replaced by Goyer.
Who will serve as the new showrunner for "FlashForward" is not yet clear, yet the position is becoming a bit like drumming for Spinal Tap. The production is currently shooting episodes 17 and 18 of a 23-hour order.
"FlashForward" is set to return March 18.
UPDATE: Statement from Goyer:"As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions. I'm proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It's in great hands."
