UnREAL hooks up with a new showrunner for season three
UnREAL, a show about shifting power dynamics on a fictional television series, is shifting its power dynamics in real life. After a sophomore outing that many thought was a wild dip in quality, the Lifetime enterprise is reportedly getting yet another showrunner for its third season. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stacy Rukeyser is the woman for the job. Marti Noxon first held the title, but left during the second season, and a New Yorker article revealed that she and co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro had a contentious relationship. Carol Barbee then assumed the role, and now the mantle passes to Rukeyser, who has been with the show from its infancy.
