Bryan Fuller won’t be coming to Camp Crystal Lake, after all. Previously announced as the show’s writer, executive producer, and showrunner, he took to Twitter to reveal his departure from the exciting prequel of ‘Friday the 13th’.

“Adapting classic horror is something I 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.”

According to a Variety article, the series order remains, and the Peacock/A24 project is now looking for a new showrunner.
