Warren Leight, the showrunner for “FBI” spinoff series “CIA,” has exited the upcoming CBS procedural.
Just months after coming on board to replace previous showrunner David Hudgins, Leight has stepped back from the CBS procedural as well. After cycling through multiple showrunners, “FBI” showrunner Mike Weiss is in talks to take over from Leight, while also helming “FBI,” TheWrap has learned.
The showrunner transition has prompted a pause in production, though the pause does not look significant enough to delay the show’s mid-season premiere.
