Kreisberg has been terminated from The CW's 'Supergirl', 'The Flash', 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' and 'Arrow' as well as CW Seed's 'Vixen', while his new project with Greg Berlanti is in limbo.

AceShowbiz - "Supergirl" and "The Flash" producer Warner Bros. TV has fired Andrew Kreisberg after the showrunner was hit with sexual harassment allegations by multiple women. The firing comes weeks after WBTV announced that Kreisberg was suspended as the studio launched an internal investigation into the claims.

Now, Kreisberg, who served as executive producers on The CW's "Supergirl", "The Flash", "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" and "Arrow", has been terminated from the four superhero series. In addition, he is terminated from CW Seed's "Vixen" and lost overall deal with the studio.

Words are, Kreisberg is currently developing another show with Greg Berlanti. However, now with him getting fired, the project is allegedly up in the air.

"After a thorough investigation, Warner Bros. Television Group has terminated Andrew Kreisberg's employment, effective immediately," the studio said on Wednesday, November 29 in a statement. "Greg Berlanti will assume additional responsibilities on both 'The Flash', where he will work closely with executive producer/co-showrunner Todd Helbing, and 'Supergirl', where he will work closely with executive producers/co-showrunners Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller. We remain committed to providing a safe working environment for our employees and everyone involved in our productions."

Berlanti and Berlanti Production's head of TV, Sarah Schechter, added in a joint statement, "Warner Bros. Television Group recently concluded its investigation into the allegations against Andrew Kreisberg. We encouraged and supported this investigation, we believe and support the individuals who came forward, and we agree with the studio's decision." They went on saying, "Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of all our colleagues-co-workers, crew and staff alike."

Kreisberg was previously suspended after 15 women and 4 men spoke out against him on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Many of the women are current or former employees on those shows. Kreisberg responded to the allegations by explaining himself, saying, "I have made comments on women's appearances and clothes in my capacity as an executive producer, but they were not sexualized. Like many people, I have given someone a non-sexual hug or kiss on the cheek."
