DAN HARMON Out As Showrunner Of ‘COMMUNITY’, I Hate Things.
Dan Harmon is out as showrunner on Community, and while I haven’t seen last night’s season finale I’m a bit saddened by all of this so I hope it crushed it.
AV Club:
Community creator Dan Harmon will no longer serve as the series’ showrunner, The A.V. Club has learned from Sony Pictures Television, which produces the show. Taking his place are David Guarascio and Moses Port, who recently worked on ABC’s Happy Endings and ran Aliens In America, The CW’s 2007 coming-of-age sitcom. Harmon will remain a consulting producer.
Harmon’s place on Community had been undetermined since the show was renewed last week. Although showrunners typically sign two-year contracts at the start of a third season, Harmon’s deal was only for one, an unusual arrangement in the TV industry.
Considering Community lost a couple of producers earlier this month, don’t expect Harmon’s exit to be the last of the changes for the show. We’ll post more information as we get it.
Boo. Hiss. Times infinity.
