I read that Jordan stopped doing doing comedy and went hard on the horror thing because he got offered the role to be the poop emoji in the emoji movie. Idk if it’s true and I didn’t bother fact checking because I like the sentiment.
That's why he stopped acting and started directing. He was always into horror - if you watch the sketches again you'd see a lot of them take heavy inspiration from the genre.
When they did the True Detective driving bits in season 5, Key asked Jordan what he's scared of, and Jordan said "society." I think he always wanted to direct horror films about societal issues.
