The report stated said the director and the producers did not see eye to eye regarding the project.
However, it is not the first time that producers have bid farewell to the show over creative issues. Its co-showrunner Jon Spaihts parted ways from the show in 2021. He was replaced with Diane Ademu-John, who quit in November.
Screenwriter Alison Schapker is still on board with the project.
