From the seven stars leaving SNL to Kelli Giddish's exit from 'Law & Order: SVU,' here are all the cast shakeups hitting TV shows this fall.
When it comes time for fall, the leaves aren’t the only things that change. In the TV landscape, especially in broadcast, cast shakeups are common.
Sometimes, that means that many actors are choosing to walk away from beloved characters — for one reason or another. The same goes in unscripted, something that is proven in the upcoming 48th season of “Saturday Night Live.” The new season is seeing seven giant exits: Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor, Aristotle Athari, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney and Pete Davidson, as has senior producer Lindsay Shookus, who is leaving after many years of working in talent relations.
Moments after creator Lorne Michaels won the Emmy last week for variety sketch series, he told reporters in the media room that those changes may have happened earlier, but with the COVID-19 pandemic,“There was an intimacy and a bond, a connection between the audience and this group. And I think we just I couldn’t imagine the world without that whole team. So we just kept going,” he said at the time. “This will be a transition year. The change year are always difficult. But also really exciting.
Some changes aren’t as exciting. At NBC and Wolf Entertainment, there are many coming. On “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” Kelli Giddish will be written out of the show during the upcoming 24th season. After she announced her departure August, multiple sources toldthat the call was made from above in order to keep the show as up to date as possible.
