There is a second showrunner change on CBS’ high-profile new fall drama series FBI, from Law & Order and Chicago boss Dick Wolf, Universal TV and CBS TV Studios. Greg Plageman, who joined the series as showrunner in late July, replacing Craig Turk, is stepping down. He is being replaced by two of Wolf’s top lieutenants: Chicago P.D. showrunner Rick Eid and Chicago Fire showrunner Derek Haas, who also co-created the mothership Chicago series. Eid and Haas will continue to run Chicago P.D. and Chicago Fire, respectively, while also sharing showrunner duties on FBI.
Plageman was brought in to FBI in late July, just before the series was slated to begin production, to get it up and running and oversee a course correction. Plageman was assigned the FBI gig under his overall deal at Uni TV. With FBI said to be back on track and Eid and Haas’ own series set for their current seasons, with stories mapped out and scripts being written, Plageman now will return to development under his overall pact, while Eid and Haas will add extra duties.
Love the show
