The Disney-owned youth-skewing network has confirmed that Royal is no longer involved in the Jessica Biel-exec produced show. It’s understood that he left after the pilot with reports suggesting that it came after disagreements with a network exec.
News of his exit comes less than a month after Freeform handed "Cruel Summer" a Season 2 renewal.
