‘Friday the 13th’ Prequel Series From A24, Peacock Loses Showrunner as Bryan Fuller Exits
variety.comJoe Otterson TV Reporter The “Friday the 13th” prequel series in the works at Peacock from A24 is in search of a new showrunner.
Bryan Fuller — who was announced as the show’s writer, executive producer, and showrunner when it was first ordered to series in 2022 — took to Twitter to announce that he has been fired from the show due to creative differences. “For reasons beyond our control, A24 has elected to go a different way with the material,” he said. “We hope the final product will be something ‘Friday the 13th’ fans all over the world will enjoy.” Trouble on the series was first reported earlier in the week by the InSneider newsletter.
However, according to an individual with knowledge of the project, the series order remains in place with hopes to line up a new showrunner as soon as possible.
Production had not begun on the series, nor had any casting taken place. Victor Miller, who penned the original film in the franchise, remains onboard as an executive produce along with Marc Toberoff and Rob Barsamian.
