FlashForward will be getting its third showrunner in one season, after David S. Goyer stepped down on Friday 5th.

Goyer will remain as executive producer on the show which he co-created with Brannon Braga, but is planning to focus more heavily on his feature writing career. "As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions," he said in an official ABC statement. "I'm proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It's in great hands."

Deadline Hollywood suggests that Goyer's next project may be co-writing the script for the third Batman movie with director Christopher Nolan's brother Jonah.

No replacement for Goyer on FlashForward has yet been announced. The show is currently filming its 17th and 18th episodes of the 23 ordered. It returns to ABC on March 18th and Channel 5 in the UK on March 22nd.
