“After two wonderful seasons in Los Angeles, the studio has decided to shoot season three of Mistresses in Vancouver, Canada, for financial reasons. It’s with a heavy heart that I have decided that I can’t relocate. I have two babies under 4. Being a mother and wife comes first and I just cannot uproot my children and separate the family by moving away. I will miss this job desperately and wish everyone the absolute best.”
The cast also includes co-stars Rochelle Aytes, Yunjin Kim, Jes Macallan, Jason George, Brett Tucker and Erik Stocklin.
It’s unclear whether the role will be recast, as season two ended on a cliffhanger involving her character, Savannah “Savi” Davis.
