Mal Young, the executive producer and head writer at CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” has been exited the long-running soap according to several online reports.
Young confirmed his exit as showrunner to Showbiz411.
“Just arrived in London for the holidays. I felt like it was a good time to move on,” Young told Roger Frieman. “Never a good idea to get too settled on a long-running soap and I achieved all that I and CBS set out to do: improved scripts and production values. I have a project of my own that I’ve been developing and want to pursue that now. Plus running a show like this is all consuming and want to get a bit of my life back – and see my family occasionally!”
Young joined the show in 2016.
