FlashForward showrunner Marc Guggenheim is leaving the show and ceding the reins to co-creator David Goyer.
Guggenheim (Eli Stone, Jack & Bobby) was brought onto the show after its pilot to help Goyer oversee the day-to-day production of the series, which ABC recently picked up for a full season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Goyer is now ready to run the show himself, so Guggenheim will depart and work on his development deal with ABC Studios.
CBS did something similar with its freshman show The Good Wife. Dee Johnson joined after the pilot to lend a hand to creators Robert and Michelle King, but the Kings were given full control of the show after its full-season pickup.
