Marti Noxon - Production

Production

In 1998, beginning with its third season, Noxon became a co-producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 1999, upon the beginning of Buffy spin-off Angel, Noxon was promoted by series creator Joss Whedon to supervising producer for its fourth season, which gave her increasing charge of producing Buffy. During this season, Noxon cast Amber Benson as Tara Maclay.

Noxon would co-produce the show over its fifth season (2000–2001) with fellow executive co-producer David Fury, as well as direct two episodes ("Into the Woods" and "Forever"). At the 6th season's conclusion, fan reaction was mixed, leading some to criticize Whedon for abandoning creative control and stewardship of Buffy to Noxon. In response, Whedon said:

Dis not th' Nox. Marti and I shaped this year very carefully, and while we made mistakes (as we do every year), we made our show. We explored what we wanted to, said what we meant. You don't have to like it, but don't think it comes from neglect. —Joss Whedon, UPN Bronze VIP Archive for May 22, 2002

Noxon was executive producer of Buffy between 2001 and 2003, for its sixth and seventh seasons.

In the fall of 2005, halfway through its first season, Noxon left Prison Break, where she had been a consulting producer, citing what she called "creative difficulties."

In April 2006, Noxon joined the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters (which would first air that fall) as showrunner. Four months later, she left the show, citing "creative differences" with creator Robin Baitz.

In September 2006, Noxon joined the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy for its third season, as consulting producer.

In April 2007, Noxon left Grey's Anatomy to become executive producer and showrunner for Grey's spinoff Private Practice. She left after its first season to " on to other projects".

In 2008, Noxon worked as a consulting producer on the AMC drama series Mad Men.
