The final four episodes of “FlashForward” will be overseen by the new showrunning team of non-writing producer Jessika Borsiczky and writer-producers Lisa Zwerling (“ER”) and Tim Lea (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent”), who replace series co-creator David Goyer (“Threshold,” “Blade: The Series”).
Borsiczky, who is Goyer’s wife, produced Goyer’s big-screen effort “The Unborn” before she was hired as executive producer on “FastForward.”
ABC also again adjusted the series’ first-season episode order, which once stood at 25 but has gradually been cut back to 22. 10 episodes have already aired; episodes 17 and 18 are currently in production.
While the sci-fi drama launched impressively last autumn with a 4.0 rating in adults 18-49, that rating fell to a 3.0 two weeks later. Its last episode to air hit a series low of 2.1.
ABC resumes airing new “FlashForward” episodes March 18. Its Thursday timeslot is currently filled by the legal dramedy “The Deep End.”
