Gotham - John Stephens joins as a writer and executive producer - best f y

John Stephens has worked on The CW’s Gossip Girl, The WB’s Gilmore Girls and Fox’s The OC. He’s coming on board Gotham as a writer and executive producer. As previously reported, Bruno Heller (Rome, The Mentalist) is the showrunner for the Warner Bros. TV project, which has recently wrapped its pilot and has a “series commitment” from Fox (which means Fox would have to pay a penalty if the show is not ordered to series but there is not yet an actual series order for the show).
