'Bionic Woman' loses showrunner

Glen Morgan has reportedly left his role as showrunner on the upcoming Bionic Woman remake due to 'creative differences'.

Variety states that Morgan, renowned for his writing work on The X-Files, left with immediate effect and that the show faces the prospect of production being temporarily halted while amendments are made to its direction. David Eick, who produced the revived Battlestar Galactica will now be the sole showrunner and work alongside executive producer Jason Smilovic.

Bionic Woman, which stars former EastEnders and Jekyll actress Michelle Ryan in the lead role, will debut in the US in late September. The pilot episode was greeted with poor reviews when screened to critics earlier in the summer, although numerous changes are said to have been made for the version that will be broadcast.
