Bryan Fuller tweeted last night that he and original co-showrunner Michael Green were fully committed the Starz series before their ouster. "We were dedicated to cast, crafted the season, wrote 5 episodes, even had Media as Mr. Rogers & Princess Leia," Fuller tweeted. "We were in the process of reducing scope due to a dramatic budget reduction when we were fired."
