Had Truman been anything other than an average, good-natured person, The Truman Show could've been a much darker film

Just sat thinking about this while trying to hide how tipsy I am from the in-laws, but I realised that had Truman been say, a narcissist or a psychopath, or been born with any number of medical conditions, The Truman Show could've been a very dark film.

Imagine, for instance, had Truman been a Ted Bundy-like, luring women into dark corners, unknowingly other cast members, to do with what he wished. Or a Unabomber -type, sending mail bombs to the different parts of the town set.

Would the production team have interfered? Would they have scrapped the production to protect themselves and their staff? Or would they let it continue, for the sake of good television? Obviously they're shown during the film interfering with the production for the sake of their plot lines, but what would they have done in such dramatic circumstances?
