NBC’s Bad Judge has lost its showrunner
The great showrunner exodus of Summer 2014 continues, with countless shows—OK, like three—suddenly finding themselves directionless and without the benefit of whatever important stuff a showrunner does. First there was The Following and Ray Donovan, both of which lost their showrunners at the end of August.The Following’s Jennifer Johnson jumped ship after only a few months on the job, and Showtime chose not to renew Ray Donovan creator Ann Biderman’s contract for “financial reasons.” Now, as reported by Deadline, Nurse Jackie co-creator Liz Brixius has decided to leave her position as the showrunner on NBC’s new comedy Bad Judge.
