David Eick Joins TNT�s �Falling Skies� As New Showrunner
By NELLIE ANDREEVA
EXCLUSIVE: Former Battlestar Galactica executive producer and Caprica
co-creator/exec producer David Eick has come on board TNT�s hit
alien-invasion drama Falling Skies as executive producer/showrunner.
On the show, executive produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Noah
Wyle, he replaces fellow Caprica co-creator/exec producer Remi
Aubuchon, who is leaving after serving as showrunner for the past two
seasons. Season 3 of Falling Skies kicks off with a two-hour premiere
on June 9. Eick is expected to begin assembling a writing staff to
start working on Season 4 in anticipation of pickup. (Because of
Falling Skies� complicated shoot and laborious post-production process
due to elaborate special effects, the writers on the show normally get
a head start before an official green light so the gap between seasons
is not too big.)
Season 4 renewal is considered a formality as Falling Skies is TNT�s
#1 scripted series in the younger demos. It premiered in 2011 and
ranked as basic cable�s #1 new series of the year. In its second
season, the series averaged 5.6 million viewers and ranked as basic
cable�s #1 summer drama of 2012 with adults 18-49 (2.6 million) and
adults 25-54 (3 million). Additionally, Falling Skies is owned by TNT,
bringing the company a lot of money from international sales as the
series is airing in some 120 countries. WME-repped Eick will serve as
executive producer alongside Spielberg, DreamWorks TV�s Justin Falvey
and Darryl Frank.

coming aboard, the show should already be in the can (or close to it) for
this season. On the other hand, the article makes a point of claiming that
the departing showrunner was only in charge for the first two seasons.

The hopeless New Zealand TV networks haven't even played season 2 yet.
:-( Meanwhile moronic drivel like X Factor is played within days of it's
US bradcast.
Season 1 is being re-run on one of Sky's channels, so maybe they'll
continue with seaosn 2 after that.
