Rosemarie DeWitt is leaving HBO’s The Newsroom.
The actress was originally cast in a recurring role for the second season of Aaron Sorkin’s drama, playing Rebecca Halliday, a litigator who defends the fictional Atlantis Cable News channel when it becomes embroiled in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
“As the production schedule for season two of The Newsroom has shifted, Rosemarie DeWitt has encountered scheduling conflicts and will no longer be able to continue in her role,” HBO said in a statement.
DeWitt’s role will now be recast, with her character’s scenes set to be reshot.
