Vanessa Hudgens TV drama on hold

Vanessa Hudgens' new TV drama has been put on hold following creator/executive producer Ben Queen's departure.

According to Deadline, production on Powerless has been postponed as studio bosses hunt for a new showrunner.

The new series, which also features Alan Tudyk, Danny Pudi, and Ron Funches, was scheduled to start shooting later this month (Aug16).

Powerless centers around an insurance company that specialises in damage cover following the actions of crime-fighting superheroes.
