Hammer’s involvement in the series – from Paramount Plus, formerly CBS All Access – was announced in early December, reports Variety. His role, that of Godfather producer Albert S. Ruddy, was intended as the show’s lead. The role will be recast.
Hammer, 34, previously announced his exit from the Jennifer Lopez action-comedy Shotgun Wedding after direct messages he allegedly sent describing fantasies involving rape and cannibalism went viral on social media.

One ex-girlfriend, Courtney Vucekovich, then came forward with further claims about Hammer.
“He said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it,” Vucekovich told Page Six. “He says, ‘I want to take a bite out of you.’ If I had a little cut on my hand, he’d like, suck it or lick it … He likes the idea of skin in his teeth.”
Another woman, Paige Lorenze, 23, dated Hammer for a few months late last year. The model claims that during their fling, Hammer carved the letter ‘A’ into her body with a knife. She also said he asked her on multiple occasions to get ribs removed so he could smoke them and eat them.
A lawyer for Hammer has denied all of Ms Lorenze’s claims, telling The Sun: “These assertions about Mr Hammer are patently untrue. Any interactions with this person, or any partner of his, were completely consensual in that they were fully discussed, agreed upon and mutually participatory.

“The stories being perpetuated in the media are a misguided attempt to present a one-sided narrative with the goal of tarnishing Mr Hammer’s reputation, and communications from the individuals involved prove that.”
After his alleged messages surfaced online, the Call Me By Your Name actor decried the allegations.
“I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film [Shotgun Wedding] in the Dominican Republic,” he said in a statement at the time. “Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.”
Reps for Hammer and Paramount Plus did not immediately return our request for comment.
Meanwhile, Hammer’s Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino and co-star Timothée Chalamet will potentially be working on a cannibalism love story, Bones and All .
Bones and All is based on Camille DeAngelis’ novel, THR reports. The story follows Maren Yearly who is on “a cross-country trip as she searches for the father she’s never met in an attempt to understand why she has the urge to kill and eat the people that love her.”
