Heroes: Bryan Fuller Quit?
Just as Heroes was gaining some creative momentum comes word of another setback: Bryan Fuller has vacated his post as consulting producer.
The acclaimed Pushing Daisies auteur tells me that he left to focus on developing new projects for NBC, and not (as some have speculated) due to creative differences with series creator Tim Kring.
“I’m crafting two pilots right now and it’s a lot of work,” admits Fuller, who has an overall deal with NBC. “It was just too hard to [juggle] Heroes and my development; something had to give.”
Fuller’s exit was first reported by Herc at Ain’t It Cool News.
Fuller returned to Heroes last December, shortly after ABC dropped the ax on Daisies. Many (yours truly included) credited him with the show’s end-of-season creative rebirth.
Reaction to Fuller’s exit? Are you as bummed as I am? Sound off below!
Doug in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England: I saw on Twitter that Bryan Fuller and Heroes are parting ways. Do you know anything more?
Sources confirm this is true. Bryan Fuller handed in one final script for an early episode of Heroes season four, and he is now moving on to develop new pilots for NBC. The cast is going to miss him.
