Jeff Pinkner was selected to act as the head show runner and executive producer. Abrams noted that he trusts Pinkner after working together with him on Alias and Lost. Michael Giacchino, Abrams' frequent collaborator, is the composer for Fringe, though Abrams himself wrote the series theme song. The two-hour pilot episode cost a total of $10 million to create. A cow used in the pilot episode had to be replaced in subsequent episodes due to livestock restrictions preventing it from being brought from Canada to the United States. If viewers note the difference in the cow's appearance, the production team members have said they will paint new cows to match the original. On February 21, 2009, it was reported that in the event that Fringe is renewed for a second season, the show will move production to Vancouver from New York City as a cost-cutting measure. On May 4, 2009, Fringe was officially renewed for a second season. It will move to Thursday nights.
