‘FlashForward’ names new show-running team

flashforward-320.jpgABC didn’t waste much time in getting a new leadership team in place at its freshman show"FlashForward."
Jessika Borsiczky, Lisa Zwerling and Timothy J. Lea will take over as showrunners for the series, which returns to the air March 18, an ABC rep confirms toZap2it. They take over for co-creator David Goyer, who will still be an executive producer but gave up his day-to-day duties on the show last week.
The network has also reduced "FlashForward’s" episode order by one, from 23 to 22. The later-than-planned return (it was originally scheduled to come back March 4) meant that the additional episode wasn’t needed.
Borsiczky has been an executive producer of the series from the beginning, while Zwerling has been a co-exec producer and has written a couple episodes. Lea is a veteran of "CSI: NY" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," among other shows.
"FlashForward" has gone through a couple of changes at the top during its brief life. Goyer and Brannon Braga co-created the show, and Mark Guggenheim was hired as showrunner following the pilot. Guggenheim left in October, after which Goyer took over.
