Orphan Black’s co-creator, Graeme Manson, is the new showrunner for TNT’s Snowpiercer series.
Variety reports that Manson will be replacing Josh Friedman, who left the show in January due to creative differences after writing the pilot.
“Graeme’s extensive background in the sci-fi genre coupled with his brilliant work behind Orphan Black made him the perfect choice for this series,” said executive vice president of original programming for TNT, Sarah Aubrey. “He is the best conductor to navigate the thought provoking and delicate themes of the series while bringing this frozen, futuristic world to life.”
