The departure of executive producer Adam Targum has sent shockwaves through the set of “NCIS: New Orleans.” Targum, who took on a leadership role after the dismissal of former showrunner Brad Kern in 2018 due to allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination, was reportedly fired on January 25.
While CBS has not disclosed the specific reasons for Targum’s termination, sources suggest it may be related to a complaint filed with the network’s human resources department. According to reports from Vulture, the atmosphere on set was challenging, with Targum’s management style described as abrasive and lacking collaboration.
In response to inquiries regarding Targum and Kern’s departures, CBS released a statement emphasizing their commitment to addressing workplace issues and fostering a safe, inclusive environment. The network stressed their dedication to investigating any claims of inappropriate behavior and taking appropriate action to maintain workplace standards.
Despite CBS’s assurances, Targum’s exit signifies another significant change for the long-running series, sparking speculation among fans and industry insiders about its potential impact on the show’s future.
