"Tom Fontana has been rehired as executive producer for NBC&amp;#039;s The Philanthropist, says The Hollywood Reporter. Fontana was dismissed from the midseason drama in April and replaced by Battlestar Galactica&amp;#039;s David Eick. Eick has now departed the show to oversee Galactica spinoff Caprica, and the network&amp;#039;s new president of scripted programming Angela Bromstad has reinstated Fontana. Fontana will bring in a new writing team to redraft upcoming scripts. A pilot for the James Purefoy drama has already been shot by Peter Horton, who is returning to executive produce the 13 episodes ordered. Production may be delayed as Purefoy pulled a hamstring while filming the pilot. The Philanthropist focuses on a rogue billionaire (Purefoy) who uses his wealth and power to help people in need.
