The Following is changing its showrunner once again.
Lost's Jennifer Johnson succeeded the show's creator Kevin Williamson in June in running The Following, but Deadline reports that she is now leaving as well.
The Following season 3 will act "as a reset", says creator
Williamson has chosen to replace Johnson with veteran Following writers Brett Mahoney and Alexi Hawley, with director Marcos Siega also having a greater creative influence.
Production on the series will not be altered by the shift in showrunner, and the series is still on track to debut its third season in 2015.
Williamson stepped away from The Following to focus on his CBS detective drama Stalker.
It was announced earlier in August that former Lost and Rome star Zuleikha Robinson will play Ryan Hardy's (Kevin Bacon) new love interest.
