ABC Renews Mistresses; Alyssa Milano to Depart Series
ABC announced Wednesday that their steamy summer series Mistresses will return in the summer 2015 for its 3rd season. The renewal comes a month after the series’ Season 2 finale. Much like Seasons 1 and 2, Season 3 will consist of 13 episodes.
Hours after ABC renewed the series, star Alyssa Milano posted on her Twitter and Facebook pages: “Sadly, I won’t be returning to #Mistresses.” She linked to a post on her official website that gave a detailed description as to why she will not continue on with the summer series.
After two wonderful seasons in Los Angeles, the studio has decided to shoot Season 3 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 can not uproot my children and separate the family by moving away.
I will miss this job desperately and wish everyone the absolute best.
Mistresses‘ second season closed with Milano’s Savi about to find out that her sister was in flagrante delicto with her ex-husband on a beach. Let’s hope that Milano returns for at least an episode or two to properly finish up her character’s storyline.
