Lee Daniels’ girl-group series has lost its showrunner

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Lee Daniels hasn’t quite reached Greg Berlanti-levels of productivity—on the small screen, that is—but the director of Precious and The Butler has been hard at work on multiple music-based series. Hot off the success of Empire’s first season, Daniels announced last year that he was developing Star, a girl-group series based in Atlanta. The show has its main cast in place, including Queen Latifah and Benjamin Bratt, and might even get an Empire crossover down the road. Production’s just hit a big snag, though, as TV Line reports that showrunner Charles Murray (Sons Of Anarchy, The Queen Latifah Show) has dropped out of the series over creative differences.
