Starz is staying on "Crash" course. The premium cable network has renewed its first original drama series for a second season with a 13-episode order.
For its sophomore effort, the Lionsgate TV-produced "Crash" will take on a new direction with a new creative team led by Ira Steven Behr ("The 4400"), who has been tapped as executive producer/showrunner. He is being joined by James DeMonaco and Todd Harthan (both of Spike TV's "The Kill Point"), who have been named exec producer and supervising producer, respectively.
Series creator/exec producer Glen Mazzara, who served as showrunner for the first season, will stay on as a consulting producer.
