Peacock and A24’s Crystal Lake series has lost its showrunner in Bryan Fuller. As reported yesterday, the show is undergoing a creative retooling (though it is not, as one report at the time noted, being cancelled). Fuller, who was set to create showrun the series, took to Instagram on Wednesday to confirm that he is no longer involved, as A24 has decided to “go a different way.”

Fuller wrote:

have some experience with. These shows require a vision that elevates and transforms, as well as delivers what audiences have come to expect, which is an ambitious and risky endeavor. It requires people to take the leap with me.

When it works, as with HANNIBAL, the results can be powerful for the storytellers and the audience. I couldn’t be more proud of the work my co-showrunner Jim Danger Gray and I were able to accomplish with our brilliant writing staff despite the challenges we faced.

For reasons beyond our control, A24 has elected to go a different way with the material. We hope the final product will be something Friday the 13th fans all over the world will enjoy.
