A significant shake-up has hit the set of “NCIS: New Orleans” with the departure of executive producer Adam Targum. Targum, who assumed a leadership role following the dismissal of former showrunner Brad Kern in 2018 amidst allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination, was reportedly fired on January 25.
While CBS has remained tight-lipped about the specific reasons behind Targum’s termination, sources suggest it may be linked to a complaint lodged with the network’s human resources department. Reports from Vulture indicate a challenging atmosphere on set, with Targum’s management style being characterized as abrasive and lacking in collaboration.
In response to inquiries about Targum and Kern’s exits, CBS issued a statement emphasizing their commitment to addressing workplace issues and fostering a safe and inclusive environment. The network underscored their dedication to investigating any claims of inappropriate behavior and taking necessary action to uphold workplace standards.
Despite the network’s assurances, the departure of Targum marks another significant change for the long-running series, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about its impact on the show’s future.
