Johannssen Leaves CBS' "Moonlight"

More drama behind the scenes at CBS' Moonlight.

Showrunner/executive producer Chip Johannessen has left the series; network won't announce another showrunner unless the series is renewed for a second season.

In the meantime, exec producer Joel Silver and the series' writing staff will collectively oversee showrunning duties on Moonlight's four additional episodes that remain to be shot this season.

The freshman series has weathered more than its share of drama since it was picked up to series last May, including scrapping the pilot's entire cast (save lead Alex O'Loughlin) and the hiring of David Greenwalt, who quickly left the series, only to be replaced by now outbound Chip Johannessen.

Still, it pales in comparison to the creative revolving door that was NBC's Bionic Woman. Talk about whiplash...
