Syfy's '12 Monkeys' Renewed for Season 2 With New Showrunners

Syfy is bringing back 12 Monkeys — but there's a catch. The network has handed out a second-season renewal for the drama based on the movie of the same name, but series showrunner Natalie Chaidez will step down. The prolific producer will segue from the breakout series to showrun Syfy's upcoming Gale Anne Hurd drama Hunters, which she wrote. 12 Monkeys executive producers Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett will take over as showrunners on the series. Fellow exec producers Richard Suckle and Charles Roven will stay on board as exec producers with Atlas' Jake Kurily producing. 12 Monkeys, based on Universal's Terry Gilliam film and starring Aaron Stanford and Amanda Schull, hails from Universal Cable Productions and will return in 2016.
