David Eick takes over Falling Skies; Season 2 on DVD/Blu-ray June 4th
by Doc on May.16, 2013, under Television
Former Battlestar Galactica and Caprica executive producer David Eick is taking over the reins of Falling Skies from Remi Aubuchon as showrunner.
What is somewhat interesting is that Eick is taking over production for Season 4 – which has not been greenlit yet, with Season 3 set to debut on June 9th. Eick is expected to get together a writing squad for Season 4 right away in anticipation of pickup, due to the long production cycle of the show. But it is fully expected to get that Season 4 order, being the top scripted show on TNT with the younger demos, and also being fully owned by TNT, which means TNT gets all the income from international sales as well.
Aubuchon, who worked with Eick on Caprica, is leaving after serving in the role for two seasons.
Also, Season 2 of Falling Skies hits shelves and doorsteps on June 4th on [sfs=1316]Blu-ray[/sfs] and [sfs=1317]DVD[/sfs]. You can also check out our Sci-Fi TV Store for previous seasons and Amazon Instant Video availability.
